It is clear that youare very knowledgable and experienced but improvement of the lighting would allow us to see clearly and make the video useful. Continue the good work, cheers

[@ronnieboucherthecrystalcraftsm]

but most subaru`s run the 4 bolt diff = R160 - so you got the early 1994- r150 - i call it and a 5 bolt is a R180 - that come`s in an STI - so you missed the main most popular common everyday diff ! R160 4 bolt open diff ! but still they are basically all the same = so mine is a R160 4 bolt true track LSD 2way 4.44 type in my 2001 GT Forester Turbo = works super well . more grip - less slip !

how does the torq auto locker handle at highway speed in wet condition around a curve?

[@tylerferber1791]

Handling is excellent we have put over 8,000 miles easily highway and off road. Its been tested in snow,mud,hill climbing etc!

[@edwardscissorhands6761]

amazing video, done very well. You make this shit look actually doable haha

[@PeaceLoveAndGuns]

Really curious on the longevity of these units. Exciting!

[@fzj8022]

They're bulletproof, if stuff breaks it'll be CVs, axleshafts, U joints, driveshafts, or your transmission

[@andrewinsinga2993]

I happen to have the proper tool for the single bolt side cover, it was on Ebay from a Subaru dealer that was going out of business!

[@kruelzombieful]

It's just a lunch box locker.

[@aaronwallace8397]

R180 in a state of despair in the bin behind you... I feel right at home

[@nicegoin_bowen]

I have a 2003 wrx wagon 5mt, will this work for me?

[@beckers1330]

Both these diffs are R160 correct ?

[@alexandersupertramp7353]

Do they make them for the front differential as well?

[@largesizejellyfish3014]

My forester has 200,000 plus miles. Could I still add a Torq locker or do i have too many miles?

[@LarryRichelli]

I noticed that the site has a locker for subaru one bolt but not for the 5 bolt subaru..also you said you were going to check if you could put the locker in a LSD diff?

[@Panmei943]

i want so much to install this in my forester but the unfortunate fact is that i cant find an open diff for my 2004xt 4eat in my country. So i was thinking if its possible to fit only the carrier from an open diff to my lsd diff case? im trying to find the answer on the web but i cant

[@danielhowe3516]

Are the one bolt and five bolt diffs interchangable in regards to diveshafts and mounting? I currently have a one bolt but want to swap for a five bolt. doable?

[@29VK05]

Why even make such a detailed video if you can't see anything? Did anybody watch this before posting? Ridiculous. Thumbs down!

Which sundial tool do I need to install a locker in a 2016 Crosstrek?

[@ethan928]

Will one of these fit in my 5 bolt rear diff in my 1993 Subaru l series ea82?

[@adrianalvarado1291]

The torq locker , always sounds in roads curves or higways ?

[@joevo3]

Does this differential noisy when it's lock?

[@thatpoorguy]

Can't wait to get one!

[@17.06.Copper]

Can these work with SJ forester 2016?

[@standheizungenrehbein4575]

yes

[@franciscogarfias371]

Maybe I missed it.. will it fit a 5 bolt Vlsd?

[@dirttales]

Nope. Has to be an open diff.

[@countercivilization]

Best video on the topic! Thank you Tyler.

[@LarryRichelli]

do the new 2020 crosstech have open diffs? From a newbi subaru guy

[@gabrielbarreda22]

I am no expert on your question but I have called a few Subaru dealers and was told that crosstrek are open Diff and that they are using the ABS electric motor to stop the spinning wheel by applying brake so the traction goes to the wheel that is not moving with the most traction

[@ganhuyghvrelsvh2050]

How to buy? How much is it?

[@frowboykid]

Great video! Thanks John.

[@iimprezius841]

Great video! Thank you! When you say "5-bolt diff" and "1-bolt diff", they have the proper identification: T-type diff and VA-type diff.

[@franciscoruizportillo7692]

How to know if my differential is open? of a bolt I have a subaru baja 2003

[@alexandersupertramp7353]

ALL Subaru's diffs come open. They don't make a limited slip or locker option

[@BubblewrapOracle]

mmm, negative. My '06 Baja has an LSD, stock.

[@procrastinator1842]

@@alexandersupertramp7353 There are about 4 different subaru LSD types thst are fitted in various models man.

[@dragosh10]

[@sammycda]

Does anyone have any experience using the diff in the snow/ice? Years ago I installed a "Lock-Rite" diff in my Suzuki Samauri and it was flat scary on icy roads. I was traveling on the interstate on an icy day, about 35mph and approached a slight curve. The Samauri did a couple of 360s and hit the center divider without any change in throttle from me. I think the Lock-Rite diff is the same as the Torqmaster's diff used in the Subaru installation but maybe the company changed hands?

[@tylerferber1791]

I believe its a completely different company and yes we went last week play in some snow and Ice and had no troubles

[@fzj8022]

Different company but very similar design. In a rwd vehicle an auto locker is terrible. I have an Aussie locker in my land cruiser and it's full-time 4wd, viscous coupling center diff with a 60/40 rear bias split so it's very similar in snow and ice. I've had it in for 2 winters now and it's alot better than open diffs, sure if you get on the throttle hard it will kick out but it's easy to catch it. Nothing has even come close to happening with it being dangerous. My 65 year old mom even drives it without a problem

[@RTCCZhuravlev]

What is the model siutable for Subaru?

[@tylerferber1791]

As long as it's a 5bolt or 1bolt

[@RTCCZhuravlev]

@@tylerferber1791 for 1 bolt

[@tylerferber1791]

@@RTCCZhuravlev any model that has a 5 bolt open diff will work. Mostly cars from like 90ish and up

[@Martin-xb2rz]

Does it fit in Subaru Impreza gx or legacy? I need some 4x4 upgrades. Front centre and rear diff. What can I use as front and centre diff.

[@raynman6466]

These fit any non lsd r160 rear diff. I believe for the front diff you can only used an lsd there are no lockers for them

[@Mike_44]

I saw videos of cars with the loqr installed and they performed great off road.. What bothers me is how noisy the clicking is when applying none to mild throttle. Honestly that’s very annoying to the point one would think something is broken inside the diff. Is the clicking something that can be fixed in the future?

[@Crono454]

the way the plates slip by each other, they are close to catching but don't quite catch, then when some pressure is applied they come together, the same thing that makes the ratcheting noise is the same thing that makes it work, can't really have one without the other.

[@Mike_44]

@@Crono454 I see, thank you for the reply.
