brysjclue Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Is there any type of locker made for the rear end of a 521 cuz i searched in here and couldn't find anything... I was also thinking about going about going old school and using a Lincoln locker (welded). Has anybody done this an if so info an pics please??? Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Don't think so. There's an LSD option for the H190 axle, but those units are rare and expensive. I wouldn't do a logger locker. I have one in the rally car, and that's light enough in the rear. A truck is going to be really annoying. Probably have some hopping back end issues while turning corners, not to mention nothing but throttle steer in light rain or snow. If you have a decent amount of power, you can overlook the locker and on dry pavement won't notice it except turning into a parking spot or doing tight turns. I'm ditching the locker I have installed for a Subi LSD the first opportunity I have. They're great for off-road, but any sort of on-road driving, they just wear things out too fast. Like tires and drivetrain. Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 This has been covered so many times on here it is ridiculous! The only readily available option for the H190 rear in the 521, 510, 620 and 720 is the Precision Gear Power Brute. Quote Link to comment

I'm looking through my old catalog and there is an option for a Detroit locker pt. no 99996-T3011 (4.625, 4.875, and 5.143 ratios only) and T3012 (4.375 ratio only) with a note that the .375 ring gear bolt holes must be machined out to accept the 10mm ring gear bolts. I thought they had a limited slip, but looks like the only listing was for the H190A in the hardbodies. Of course since Nismo is no longer, good luck on getting any of those. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 There are a couple aftermarket LSD's available, I believe you can still get detroit's but the application guide seems to be broken on their website. http://www.eaton.com/EatonCom/ProductsServices/PerformanceProducts/Products/Differentials/index.htm Quote Link to comment
