I'm adding a front locker next week and I want to plan ahead (carry spares) for any issues with my CV shafts and tie rods.
So, assuming I'm careful about not trying to steer with the locker engaged, or using the locker with the wheels turned, can I still expect issues with tie rods and CV shafts? I have a mild OME lift in the front; therefore, the CV angles are not much different than stock. Also, most of the Montero's drivetrain is pretty stout.
While I know that this can be largely vehicle specific, can anyone offer any general advice about potential issues with tie rods and CV shafts with a front locker?
I'm just not certain, at this point, about how much I should be concerned about premature wear to the front drivetrain and steering components.
