Spartan locker clicking

[Daniel Brunner]

Hi, I finished my rear end upgrade today with a spartan locker (8.25). Installed it just like in every YouTube video I have found. Just came from my test drive and I noticed a constantly clicking sound when cornering. At a straight line it’s quiet. I didn’t dare a burnout yet to see if both wheels lock up.

I heared Spartan‘s make that noise while cornering. I never heared anything about clicking rear ends while taking a turn that completely new to me.

Have any of you guys have experience with these kind of lockers?

Those that are like that, do click in turns. Normal function.

Okay, that’s crazy! Thank you so I can peel some rubber off with no worries. Thank you

I don't know the brand, but my 65 Coronet does that. I was told it's normal and I've had no issues with mine.

I have a real Detroit locker in my 8 3/4 and clicking during turns is entirely normal. I believe it is for the lockers that fit in open diffs too.

(I think there are things called "soft lockers" that are quieter, but I don't know if such a thing is available to retrofit an open diff.)

I have those ratcheting lockers in one of my offroad rigs, if they are clicking, it means they are working and installed correctly.
