Default Can someone explain the Honda front differential

It must have been asked before but I didn't see it. So, why does honda claim their front differential on their 4x4's puts power to the wheel with traction, when the bike is on a stand, I can hold one tire and the other tire spins freely? I own a 2001 Rubicon and I would think if you held one wheel, it would try to rip it out of your hand. Thanks for any input.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

Typical sales Garbo!! Would you buy the 4 wheeler if the salesman said the front diffs don't work??? No limited slip front diffs work except Bombys "Visco lock" . It should read "UNlimited slip" The only way they drive both fronts is if Both tires have equal traction OR Both tires have no traction.

To do what you want you need a front locker. It would definitely be a nice option to have but I haven't found too many places that slow the honda down as it is.

Thanks for the input. I had Highlifters locker in the front but put it back to stock for my girlfriends sake. I was just curious about the whole "torque to the wheel with traction" thing and I can't find out what's going on. I accept it for what it is and what it does. If I got it stuck it's because I was trying to, that's why I got the locker. But my girlfriend had a hard time steering with it.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
