lock rite popping

yellowjacket · 11-27-2009, 08:48 AM

i believe its my lock rite, anyway. new rebuild on the toyota axles. new 30 splines. drive flanges. locker is brand new. is acting like a old wore out one. under throttle, seems to me like the halves are passing each other, along with a pretty good clunk/ pop that i can feel. not constant, but is def getting worse. i thought i set this up right, but any thoughts or advice is welcome.

i am sure thats the problem, is too much distance between
the flanges, i cant remember even if they come with spacers
or if it is a older one you can turn them around
i got sick and tired of it and replaced mine with a full locker
save yourself a bunch of time ,send it back and pay the xtra for a full locker

cant remember if it came with spacers.think i do rmmber the instructions to reuse my original spacers, so that is what i did. searched on pirate and from what i gathered, maybe i can add spacers(???) got this new from scott armstrng on the board. sure seems to act like a wore out locker. thanx for your thoughts.
btw, does this in frward and reverse.

Sounds like a locker or ring and pinion. Damage will result if not already. Did you have any problems with the springs while assembling it? Lock-rites warranty usually is for defective materials not improper install. The 3rd member makes those axles awesome to work on compared to a dana axle.

Sounds like the thrust washers were left out or not of the right thickness. If the gap between the halfs is too big it will act just like you describe and will eventually break the 4 little pins between the halfs. Tighten it up with some additional shims or send it back for a full case locker or spool. Cant remember the correct spacing but it should be in the directions or available online.
