most likely the locker... upgrade it and you'll be all good.

i have tried several different methods fo fixing the slop in mine. different lockers, shimming, axles. where it is coming from is where the axles goes into the locker. the tolerances are not tight enough. when i started i had about 3/4" of wheel movement, now i have it down to 1/4" or so. this is measured by rocking your rig back and forth. no motor just slop in the axles.

the only way to get around it is, worm drive axles. but they are $500 for a set of 2. i have better than $1200 into this already. and the girlfriend calls it a toy.
