I have massive understeer especially when compared to the 110. Im a little bit carefull around corners due to the locking unlocking noise.

Other than that its brilliant off road and it tackles anything in low range.

I have noticed a slight difference in steering while driving generally, my wife didn't.

If I put my foot down while turning it does try to straighten up and will spin the inner wheel, but this is a deliberate action to test to see if the diff is locking (showing off more like it).

I have never heard an unlocking noise at all while driving and I was told this would be the case with the newer Detroits. When I have one wheel jacked up and deliberately spin it to get it to unlock I can hear it, but it's more of a subdued clicking.

I got them from Great Basin Rovers for A$1235 landed. Fitting the Salisbury was dead easy, a few hours. Fitting the Rover was a little more complex, but I learnt a lot from it about setting up backlash.
