So I have a Spartan auto locker in my Dana 30. Been in there for like 2000 miles. Love it offroad! On the street not so much. Wanted to see if those that have the same setup are experiencing the same issues. I know about the popping and I'm cool with it. When I take a corner slow (just turning onto a street) It make a bunch of noise like the axle is falling apart. Doesn't matter if it a right or left. I do get the occasional pop when maneuvering in a parking lot or turning into my driveway. I know that is normal. When I'm driving straight, no issues.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

 

Had one in my TJ..no issues

 

Was in in the rear? I know of a few TJ guys that have the auto locker in the rear

 

I have an Aussie and it does the exact same thing you described. Sorry no answers though.

 

That's normal. It's just the nature of the beast

 

Sounds good guys, thanks for the responses. i will just drain, inspect and refill for peace of mind.

 

I also have a spartan in front and it does make some god awful noises... its normal.

 

Are you running 3.21 gears? Any update since this post? I have the Spartan, not yet installed.

 

I had a Spartan in a TJ dana 30 and on the street (not in 4 wheel drive)
it never made any popping. On the trails in 4 lo it would sometimes.
