Yes, this is just a solid front axle/diff. The effects of the car's handling tend to make the car easier to drive, but you lose a considerable amount of steering. Although on-power you have the same amount of steering as you would have with a one-way. Off-power the car will not "rotate" as well as a car would with a one-way. The good part about having a Spool is that you will always have full braking abality's, and suposedly cleaner driving.
