I'm one of those confused by that statement, there's a noticeable difference in turning when my front lockers are engaged? More often than not I'll turn mine on for hill climbs that have a lot of rocks, ruts & other features that keep one or sometimes two tires off the ground enough that I'd get stopped in my tracks if open. I'll always turn the front locker off when I'm near the top particularly if there's a T intersecting trail that i have to turn onto, when I forget to turn it off or turn it off without enough runway left for the locker to disengage & I try to make the turn it's the approximately equivalent of turning a car without power steering (who all remembers those days?). If it's not the lockers directly or indirectly causing the hard steering what is it?
