i'm running a set of 85 toyota axles in my zuki. ok when its under a load something makes a popping sound in the front end, we just put new pens and springs in the lock rite and i replaced the warn hubs with stock hubs. the axle looked ok there stock can it be that it cracked on the inside of the where you cant see it. thanks for your help justin
 
Did you install new thrust washers when you installed the Lockright?
 
axles

no i had a guy do it but all he did was the pins and springs was hopein that was it cause all the springs was bent pins were fine
 
Are the tires slipping or just clicking and popping? If the tires are slipping its the locker and if its clicking and popping its probably the birfs. Are they stock?
 
Yea, the lockright will pop every time one wheel spins a different speed than the other with the hubs locked in. When you put it all back together did you fill the birfields with grease?

On a side note, the stock hubs you took out are much stronger than the Warns you put in.

Click to expand...

My last rig was a Toyota axled Sammi, but, I dont have too

much more to add then the others...they seem spot on. That

said, my only isues ever,( I do drive a bit hard also) both

caused the same problem you are having. When my locker was

fubarred, it popped like mad and would only pull whichever

side had least traction. And when I tosed that POS locker and

welded it, then, after a few rides, I broke a few (stock) birfs, it

would pop and not pull that tire on that side, BUT only under

heavy

load, both times. The inner guts would strip out inside the birf,

(i guess cause the Suzuki big block woudlnt shatter them like

the Toyota motors I was used to) and I only figured it out

when I seperated the birf from the inner, the star was only

cracked enough to expand when loaded. Buy 30 spline Longs,

and if the locker is still good, you may never have to F with

that front end again. *edit*, I didnt break em, 30 Longs are like Rockwells under a Zuk, If I cant kill 'em, Nobody can!
 
axle

ok' thanks for the help. i am runing stock burfs, and replaced the warn hubs, that was on the axle with stock hubs. gears and locker looked fine, could not find any thing wrong other then the bent springs. i didnt take the burfs apart so the guts may be cracked leting it slip. i'm runin 5.71s 6.5 case 1.6 16 valve on grill gas with 36s when it pops its like the drivers wheel is sliping then it fine til it pops again. case of beer and pull in apart again
 
Any chance it is the front output on the zuk case? If i remember corectly there is is a problem with it that it can pop when the shift collar bids on the front output. Just a idea. Good luck.
