Powertrax No-Slip Locker Pushing-Pulling Right
Ok I installed my Powertrax No-Slip Locker and now the Jeep feels likes its pushing-pulling to the right. Not very hard though is this normal for the first 500 miles?

Double check your air pressure. It needs to be as close as possible from side to side because when traveling in a straight line under power it will be in the locked mode. Other than that, make sure that the rear tires are worn the same amount.

It only happens when I come out of a turn then it will straighten out. So I guess its suppose to do that then.

Yep, the locker will push one way or the other when you let off or step on the gas, and that usually is just before or after a corner. When you give it gas the locker locks causing the rig to try and go straight, so if you're in a corner or just coming out of one this makes it feel like it is pulling one way or the other. The same happens when you let off the gas going into a corner, accept it will unlock the axle making it feel like it is trying to turn sharper.

As they stated above it is because both wheels are being fed power now. Def will be a different feel. Something you will have to get used to. Great for off road but noticably different on road.
