Eaton

Is your car or 4x4 losing traction because one wheel spins? Eaton makes differentials that send power more effectively to the wheels when grip is poor. Here you’ll find Eaton Detroit Truetrac, Detroit Locker, ELocker and Posi differentials, as well as spare parts and rebuild kits for many popular front and rear axles.

Well-known maker of drivetrain components

Eaton is a large international industrial company that, among other things, makes components for vehicle drivetrains. In the performance and off-road world, Eaton is best known for its Detroit differentials and for its TVS superchargers, which are also used by several car makers. Eaton differentials are used in muscle cars, pickups, Jeeps and off-road vehicles, where they need to send power to the wheel with grip instead of losing it to a wheel that spins.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Truetrac and Detroit Locker?

Truetrac is a helical gear differential that shares power more evenly without fully locking and feels like a normal differential in daily driving. Detroit Locker fully locks both wheels under power for maximum traction, but can be more noticeable when cornering and at low speed.

When does an ELocker make sense?

An ELocker is ideal if the vehicle is driven a lot on the road but you want a full locker off-road. When it is off, the vehicle behaves as with an open differential, and at the flick of a switch the wheels lock together.
