Something is skipin in my front rear.Im thinking maybe its my locker.I got it back in 2002 and by lookin at it all the little pin holes are wore out.The springs dont feel strong.I dont think its my t-case.And everything inside looks good. Has anyone had a lock rite stop workin?
Thanks for any info.
Lock Rite
-
The pins int he LockRite are designed to shear under a certail load. Maybe yours sheared, and the locker is not engaging. I'm pretty sure you can buy replacement pins and springs.

Are your thrust washers installed?
-
when u install a lockrite you have to reinstall the thrust washers that were in your spider gears. I have found that a lot of people forget to install these causing premature failure or shearing of the pins. They look like a large washer but are very thin. They go between your carrier and the two outside parts of the lockrite (if i remember that correctly).
-
If you didn't see them when you removed the spider gears, they were probably sticking to the spider gears (from the thick gear oil).
If you don't have them anymore, I have a CJ dana 30 carrier and spider gear set in my garage you can scavenge from. I assume they will work since they are just washers. Might be worth a try anyway.

Could it be an axle u-joint? If one was getting stiff or worn, couldn't it affect the engagement and disengagement of the locker?
