true that i feel you on broke part,, so steering is a b i t @ H, how about when hubs unlocked still hard or??
No they steer fine with them unlocked but, what are you going to do when you are climbing a hard spot in loose rocks and there is a 90 degree turn and the only way you are going to make it is with the front end locked in? Would I do it, nope but I saved up my pennies and got an ARB for the front.
Back when the cash for clunkers vehicles started showing up in the P-N-P's I could have picked up e-lockers for $150.00, at one time there were three in one yard in my area and two in another yard. Keep checking your P-N-P's.
