Carriers

Western Differential offers many different types of carriers including open/non-posi, limited-slip, locking and spools.  We also have the many parts to rebuild your carrier; including inner gears, cross shafts and clutch kits. 

We are currently having closeout deals on New and Used OEM/Aftermarket Carriers. Give us a call today!

Open or Non-Posi Carriers:

• Allow both tires to spin at different speeds.
• Open carriers are available from OEM or aftermarket manufacturers as complete units, or as separate cases and internals.

Limited-Slip Carriers:

• Also called Positractions, allow the axles to turn at different speeds.
• The most common types are Auburn, Eaton, Tracloc and Truetrac.

Locking Carriers: 

• Automatic locking and selectable locking
• A locker makes both axles turn all the time at the flip of a switch, this ensures that both tires turn in all driving conditions.
• The most common types are Detroit (Automatic) Locker, ARB Air (Selectable) Locker, Auburn Ected and Eaton Electric (Selectable) Lockers.
• Air Lockers require an air compressor to run.
• There are also many vehicles with Factory type lockers either air locking or electric locking.

Spools:

• A solid carrier where both axles turn all the time but unlike a locker they cannot disengage.
• Recommended for racing applications and occasionally in off road applications, not for driving on the street.
