Default A risk for fitting a LSD in front axle ?

Hi,
A mate want to fit a LSD in front axle of his 4wd Sapphire track car.
But I heard this fitting is a risk of broken for axle shafts or for CWP.
Is it true or not ?

Thanks.

Dunno, but would love to know how it drove compared to a normal 4x4 Cossie.

4x4 saph have open front diff's

it is poosible to fit a Quaife LSD in the standard casing but they can be prone to cracking if used hard, you can buy a Full Quaife Thick wall unit but they are costly
