Yes, diffs are needed as when a car turns, theres a DIFFerence between how far a left and right, or front and back wheels have to move.
the word differential basically means that the total rotation of its two output shafts add up to double the rotation of the input shaft, but neither one has to be the same.
So, when you lock the centre diff and try and turn sharply, 1 of your wheels will inevitably have to scrub across the tarmac, this is the stopping that your feeling.

Look in the tech archive for information on the dccd

PS, you will virtually never need to use the Lock on the dccd unless in really bad conditions like snow.

^ That shouldnt happen with the viscous centre'd cars as the contrarotation of turning isnt enough to cause the viscous diffs to start binding! And the standard rear LSD's arent strong enough to cause this either.
Possible with an LSD front, but theyre few and far between.
If the cars had alot of miles on different sized tyres front/back, the centre diffs can pop and become fully open or locked.

i doubt you should have full dccd lock on when driving on dry tarmac
i would have thought you would get transmission wind-up

My 03 sti can skip the front tyres on full lock when reversing, its done that since new in 2003. No DCCD on mine.
The 03's have a suretrack front LSD and rear torsen LSD.
Dipster.

So an LSD is a limited slip differential, these are cross axis diffs if you look at what Dipster is saying (front and rear LSD) or if you like, wheel to wheel.
There are several types of LSD's used in scoobs, and not all STI's have front LSD's.
