Upon removing the vacuum housing to install the posi-loc, it appears that the shifter fork has been installed to keep the front axle permanently locked.
Is this safe? Will it wear parts in the front axle prematurely?
Thanks

ThanksWon't hurt a thing.
All TJ's are basically like that.

that was a common way to defeat the CAD system... (CAD=central axle disconnect) This system was used on a bunch of vehicles over a bunch of years and has always been problematic.

Keep it like that and return ur posilok

If you plan to drive around town 90% of the time and go wheeling 10% of the time, I would put the posi loc on.

X3 I installed one also and am happy with it. -
If you plan to put a locker in the front, keep the posi-lok but if you don't have any plans for a locker, keep it the way it is. I have a lockright in the front of my YJ and can't unlock the front and it's a pain to turn.
