a locking axle referes to a differential that physically lock together, like a spool or detroit locker. Our cars come with Limited Slip, basically using clutches to keep the axles turning together, but it doesn't actually lock.

Not sure, but they might be refering to the C-clips that hold the axle in.

GM PART # 26063146 should be the axle you want for a non traction control (TCS) car.
