If you pull the handbrake while cornering does your car lock the rear wheels? Mine doesn't just slowing down... Handbrake force is really good since it can hold the car to a big downhill easy. 2wd car can lock easily the rear wheels so I am thinking that the 4wd system keep the back wheels turning since the front are turning. Standard rear brakes and 17in wheels.

 

I used to have a 2.9 xr4x4 with the same MT75 gearbox and the handbrake used to lock the rear wheels, not sure what damage I was doing to the centre diff though

 

I havent tried it and i dont think i will.

 

This was you and your centre diff:

 

Errr never tried!

I tried only once for fun on a wet area but the wheels didn't lock thats why I was asking... I am not lunatic to do handbrake turns: I put my foot down and turn! Obviously the center diff is in good condition so it forces the rear wheels to turn instead of locking I guess...
