Rear Spartan locker scraping noise

[928dennis]

I just installed the Spartan in the rear and it works very well with no clicking noise or clunking noise, very smooth. But after a few miles it has this scraping noise coming from the rear like a brake shoe is hanging up. I have not had the time to look at it but has this happen to others with the spartan? followed the install to a T, measured the distance between the hubs and that was in spec, torqued everything to the book. So I am stumped, any suggestions?

Did you put the spacer back in?

I'll find the post that just came up referring to this. It has be in the rear diff.

Look at the other thread you posted in, that is probably your issue.

This is the only tread I have posted, but thanks, Where is this spacer at, I thought I pulled all the parts out of the stock carrier to install the spartan. Did not see that part.

Click the link in the post above.

It shows you clicked on it somewhere, there is a 'reply' post by you but no comment.

Sorry, I did click on that post and ask the same question I ask here. there was not a answer to that I seem. But going bask to this spacer where is it in the carrier? I jus did not see anything like that.

I will look at the carrier housing in the morning, I kept everything. I wonder why there is no mention of this in the install manual?

 

[928dennis]

What I should have said I will look at all the parts I pulled out.

 

[Roxasuras]

It is something that they overlooked. It is an easy fix though

 

[928dennis]

Thanks. I will go back over everything again. So much for reading the book!!

 

[Roxasuras]

Glad to help. Hope it all works out

It's mentioned with a picture, a very very poor picture, in step number 23. There could definitely be a bit more detail to emphasize on this. Your no the first person this has happened to. Some shops have even missed it.

Thank you, I feel really dumb.

 

[Roxasuras]

No reason to, plenty of people have made this mistake

 

[Bister]

No problem. It's too bad that Roxor doesn't make it more clear that this has to go back in. You are not the first and I am sure you won't be the last. this will continue to happen until the install directions are made more clear.
