Limited Slip Front End, How's the steerablility?

Hi There,

My HZJ73 has a limited slip rear. I'm thinking putting an ARB locker in there and swapping the limited slip in the front.

Has anyone put a limited slip in the front? If they have, how was the steerability? If its diffult to use, I'd rather have a selectable locker or even an open diff.

Cheers,

John

Is your front and rear the same? I thought after 1990 they went to the high pinion front diff.
It works ok if you have the older style front diff

That's what I did with my first 88 BJ74. No noticable difference in steering, or traction for that matter.
