actually this is how a limited slip works it engages when you loose traction where a lockright or spartan aussie is actually locked like a spool at all times until you turn then it lets loose so one wheel can spin faster with out eating your tires or making you able to steer in the front. but honestly if you didnt want to eat tires i would of spent the 400ish on a grizzly locker over the 300ish aussie since it is a full carrier and a stronger my dad is running a grizzly in the rear and it never chirps his tire in an auto.

This is entirely incorrect.

Lunchbox lockers actually do the complete opposite.

lockers engage when they have force from the engine applied to the rear end, with a mnaual you can throw it in neautral, have no force going to the rear, therfor no bucking or jumping, with an automatic the transmission ALWAYS i repeat ALWAYS no matter what you people say or hear, if your in drive going around a corner, your auto tranny has force to the back tires, therefore engageing the locker, makein it buck, stu is right, aussie, spartan, and all thats all the same thing, some have bigger springs and pins makeing them bigger and needing more foce to lock, but all in all its all the same, im running detriots and they buck and jump, but trust me you cant kill a detriot, dont want the jumping tire eating but want a locker? elocker or arb or zip lockers, want cheap? get a spartan and quit complaining about tire wear... remeber you went cheap
