i just spoke to my mate he said when the locker was fitted they but a bearing kit also because it had a lot of bearing movement and the gears were a little worn because of crook bearings sounds like they should of replace the gears when it was a part, i said to him go back and make him replace it on hes back wait and see what happens,

Toyota pinions use a collapsible space. When you install the drive flange tighten the retaining nut to the specified torque only. Most people use a rattle gun or a massive bar and overtighten it causing the spacer to collapse to far.
