What is welding your spider gears?

Welding your spiders up is just that. Taking the "spider" or side and pinion gears and welding them together in some shape or form.

Why should I do it?

The advantage of doing this is a cheap way to lock up your rear end. If the spider gears arent allowing both sides to rotate independently then both axles will turn at the same speed all the time. Thus giving you maximum traction to each wheel that you can possibly get.

  The GM 14 bolt axle is one of the few axles for which the full Detroit locker does not include a new carrier.
