    REAR DIFFERENTIAL LOCKS UP. UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS IT MAKES THE VEHICLE FEEL AS THOUGH THE REAR END IS LOOSE ON THE ROAD AS A LOW TIRE PRESSURE PROBLEM. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TIGHT TURN AT AN INTERSECTION THE VEHICLE REQUIRES CONSIDERABLE POWER TO FORCE IT THROUGH THE TURN. THE UNIT WILL RELEASE WITH A SUDDEN BANG THAT WOULD MAKE YOU THINK THE DRIVETRAIN GAVE WAY. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACHIEVE ITS TURNING RADIUS UNDER THESE CONDITIONS, TAKING THE DRIVER BY SURPRISE WHEN TRYING TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC.
