The tighter the front diff, the more the tires try to "lock up" off power. This results in less off power steering.
Exiting a turn: By the same principle, a tighter front diff will slip less on power, resulting in more power transferred to the tires and (assuming there's adequate traction) the front tires will pull the car through the corner on power.
This is why a one-way gives you greater on and off power steering. It free-wheels off power and it's like a fully locked diff on power.
Hope I didn't confuse you further.  |
