Diff Locker Query

[thzero]

Anyone know what brand of diff locker this is? If someone knows, anyone have any tips for getting the axles straight with it? I'm using some straight axles for the rear-end and ending up with a slight hitch in the smooth operation of the diff that is due to the axles not being straight.

Thanks.

i have the same issue with the axles not being perfectly straight. I put them in and set them up as good as i could using the hole in my axle and a ball driver. i think its more in the shafts them selves rather than the lockers.

you can get the center of the shafts off center if you tighten the set screws unevenly from each other....how i did mine instead of through the housing hole is as this....with the locker and bearings in place in half a housing with the axles inplace with outter bearings also....tighten the set screws so that the axle spins true and has no wobble at the ends by the locker....you will be able to see the wobble no matter how small it is....once wobble is gone place second half of axle housing in place and button it up, presto centered axles with no wobble that spin true ....by doing it that way you can also do an axle service with the axle on the rig instead of removing the whole axle from rig....just remove C-hubs or rear straight tubes and 4 screws from center and there ya go ........bob

Thanks for the tips. However I've switched to the FLM diff lockers which are a bit less of a hassle.
