Front diff. sucks!!

holyshoot · 01-23-2012, 08:30 PM

So this is my first sxs but i have owned a few quads 3 of them were grizzlies and it has been a bit of a inconvenience not having a locking front diff. The machine is unbelieveable other than that one thing and I have read about some people feathering the brake but that isnt helping me. What about this qe upgrade? I just watched a youtube video and it seemed to work really well on the renegade or whatever it was? JUst lookin for some more opinions and/or options. Thanx all!

Get the QE. It works great and is worth the added expense. Mine locks up in
about a 1/2 turn or so.

Yes , The QE is the only way to go if you do much hill climbs, mudding , or technical tight areas .

On High speed loose trails, i did like the standard Visco lock better, .

The QE pushes worse in high speed turns it seens to me ,

But i wouldnt go back to stock at all ,

Love the QE .

Do i have to go to the "stealer" for a qe, and if so whats the damage, ball park?

There are several threads on here with prices and pt numbers.

I think you can get complete dif for 950$

Kinda seems like sombody found them for less than 800 somewhere.

If you just want the QE internals to install yourself, you can get done for bout 600 i think .

Yes , its dealer parts or used from ebay ( if lucky ) or salvage yards.

Search the other threads. they full of good info .
