People have told me front lockers are no good cause you can't steer. Is this true? Have you got some steering ability?

I had both front and rear Harrop E-Lockers in my last Patrol and they were fantastic!!
No compressors to run, no 'o rings' leaking and within $100 or so of the ARB air lockers.
That Patrol copped a lot of abuse and the solid front axle coped just fine......now I've got the Lux, I'll be putting another E-Locker in the front but will be FAR more cautious and conscious of keeping the front wheels straight.
The Hilux IFS and CV's simply won't cop the same levels of abuse.
Cheers, S
