Abstract: Locking differentials are described that include a first orientation and a second orientation. In the first orientation, the locking differential has a default unlocked position and must be actuated to be locked. In the second orientation, the locking differential has a default locked position and must be actuated to be unlocked. The user selects whether the locking differential is in the first orientation or the second orientation.
Abstract: Strut spacers are described that include at least a male component comprising an externally threaded surface and a female component comprising an internally threaded surface. Rotation of the male component or the female component adjusts the height of the strut spacer prior to installation within the motor vehicle. The strut spacer can optionally include a locking ring to lock the height of the strut spacer before installation.
