Eaton Differential Carrier SoftLocker (MPN: 187SL17B)

Enhance your Ford 9 Inch axle performance with advanced locking technology.

The Eaton Differential Carrier SoftLocker is designed for the Ford 9 Inch axle, featuring an automatic locking differential that enhances traction and driveability. Utilizing a spring-generated preload between the side gears, this unit creates rotational resistance that dampens the re-engagement action of the Detroit Locker, providing a smoother driving experience on highways. The SoftLocker is engineered with internal Belleville style springs and wear disks, which contribute to its unique functionality without affecting the actual lash of the differential.

Constructed from durable steel, the SoftLocker is built to withstand the demands of high-performance applications. It is compatible with 31 spline axles and supports gear ratios of 3.25 and higher, making it a versatile choice for various setups. The design focuses on improving the feel of the differential while maintaining reliability and performance under load. This product is identified by the inclusion of 'SL' in the model number, ensuring you are selecting the advanced version of the Detroit Locker for your vehicle.
