My Hilux going on 1 wheel. What could be the problem?

Post by BabyGodzillaGTi-R »

Hey guys,
drive a LN106 Hilux with a rear Lock Rite Installed.
Notice an odd problem where the car seems to be really twitchy on a straight road. Then it felt funny that it was so easy to wheel spin at the traffic lights.
And finally realised then the car seems to run on 1 wheel when i tried to drive up the lawn.

So what do u guys suspect is the problem? A broken axle? A broken Lock Rite? Coz it feels like the right side only recieves power.
I havent open it yet.
The funny bit is the car has not seen a single bit of offroad action when it was installed 10 years ago and probably done less than 25000km. Total mileage is 55000km.

If it's a broken lock rite what could it be?
I did a search everyone says the springs is a weak problem.

Anyway bottom line i'm from Malaysia. So is there anyone in here is a Lock Rite dealer/ specialist? At least i know where to source and order parts if necessary.
Sigh.
:?
My RIG sucks big time.

Bingo with the axle guess, it’s possible that there were stress fractures formed a while ago and a bit of pressure at the right time, snap! It's possible also that it could be a fairly clean break. If the locker wasn't in there you would have found out exactly when it happened because there would have been no drive at all.
