Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I just blew up my rear diff with the lockrite there are some very bad noises coming out of it. I had too get it put on the tray back to get it home I will start on it tuesday arvo and see what it has done
BUGGER ME

Bummer

Why didn't you just drop the rear tailshaft and drive home in front wheel drive............is there absolutely no movement in the rear diff ????

nice timing 12uke , just when i'm looking at a locker for mine

keep us updated what went wrong :(

antt & 12uke, Here is my experience with lockrites:,
I had a lockrite in my vitara which "broke" and was replaced with a new one under warranty about 3 times before a solution was found.
This was a long time ago so i cant quite remember the part numbers, but there was 2 models that fitted the vitara: 1. basic difflock & 2. difflock & side gears replacement version.
The replacement side gears model was meant to be a lot quieter & smoother so i got that one but it had some design defect that would break after a couple of months.
The dealer tried to blame tyres, and everything else under the sun, but it was solved eventually but installing the basic version.
So my advice is to never but the replacement side gear version. (wish i could remember the LR.. number)

OK guys the lockrite is fine it did the crown wheel and pinion gears
all up it will be another diff with the lockrite installed and a r/h axle as this one is turning the splines and a new wheel bearing for that axle

BUGGER :(

ah well, still should be getting mine

what diff gears were you running ? were they standard or 4.5 or 5.12s.
what were you doing excactly when it popped.

The gears are standard and it made a mess of it's self leaving Mcdonalds so it was HARDCORE when it broke.

Some of those drive-throughs are pretty tricky dude.
