A diff locker locks each axle half in a diff together, thus forcing both wheels to rotate at the same speed. This means if one wheel has more traction it will receive more torque, rather than the torque being limited by the wheel with the least traction as is the case with a normal differential.
What are the different types of diff lockers?
There are two types of locking differentials – automatic and manual. Automatic diff locks will engage automatically when traction is lost. The diff lock will release once traction has been regained. Some automatic locking diffs will only disengage once one wheel is required to spin faster than the others.
