Locking diffs usually lead to extra wear on the rear tires (in difference
degrees). LSD being the most mild, followed by a locker, followed by a
spool or welded or leaded diff. Sometimes the wheels just gotta turn at
difference speeds, its not a matter of traction.... turning comes to mind...
Its a give and take relationship ;)
