Best video on the topic! Thank you Tyler.

Great video! Thanks John.

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

Can't wait to get one!

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.

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!

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 !

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?

Do they make them for the front differential as well?

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

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

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

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

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?

Really curious on the longevity of these units. Exciting!

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

Does this differential noisy when it's lock?

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

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

Both these diffs are R160 correct ?

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

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

How to buy? How much is it?

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?

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

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.

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

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?

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.
