Post subject:  jimny rear spartan issue?

did a search, couldnt find anything similar to the possible issue i have

now, installed a rear diff, all new bearings, tensions and backlash all set correctly, locker was a relatively tight fit, no hammers or anything crazy needed though

now, my issue is i have a small amount of "free play" in the axle area, so when i lift both wheels off the ground, or even one of either side, theres a bit of free movement before it catches the locker and starts to move the shaft and other wheel/unlock the other wheel.

basically look at the wheel as a clock, i can move from 12 to 1 and back freely. im assuming its between the locker and the side gear.

anyone else seen this before?

cheers, cal

They do have some slack in them.

I have to give mine a bit of a shove before it will lock them both together.

Yeah thats normal. Its the locker going from forward drive side to the reverse drive side of its operation.

Aah sweet. Seemed a bit strange when i could turn the driveshaft when i got under as if its backlash was out. Needed an oil change anywho so thats all good to do now

You can feel the back lash by lightly rocking the shaft back and forth.
It's a just an auto locker thing. They're rough.

I like them though, cheap and simple.

Yea thats what i liked, at first i wasnt sure about it as it was harsh, but now its bedded in a bit, its quiet easy going with an occasional bind up. Just have to drive to the conditions. Ill keep my wrx as the speed machine haha
