I have read the term "Detroit lean" more than once. What does it mean? My Detroit locked XJ leans to the drivers-side in the rear while parked, is this the same? Why does it cause it to lean?
bj-666 said:i think what your talking about is caused by binding in the drive line that is normal with a locker that is not selectable. u know in a muscle car when you rev the engine it leans to one side well that is kinda what is going on.
olivedrabcj7 said:its because when its sitting there engaged, the locker has tension in it. that tension is translated through to the driveshaft which has a torsional force on the T-case which is attached to the jeep causing it to lean in that direction. happens with spools and welded spiders too.
hells if i know, this is just what i was told when i asked about it.jjvande said:so there's no torque with an open diff?
