Lockright or weld it...

I have an Aussie. It works but does click as I go around corners. I have broken axles and it has held together. I may have it for sell here shortly as I have found a D44 that I am getting ready to install.

sweet let me know .... how long have you had it ?

You're welcome! Used is better, too Pin and spring sets are CHEAP! So if that's all that is wrong, don't let that stop you from buying it. I'm pretty sure the Aussie uses the same pin/spring set as Lockrite's. If not, you'd need to get it from Aussie. But you'll need to talk to someone with experience with both, and that's not me. I have 0 experience with Aussie's.

Both the Aussie and Lock Rights are great when properly installed you can't go wrong with either. As for the Genuine Gear Quick Loc...

I don't know the GG Quick Loc, but knowing GG, it's a rebrand. Maybe Detroit EZ Locker? I say that because 4WP was real big into the EZ Locker....

Rumor has it they are a Detroit EZ, but I think that they are the ones that didn't pass QA. That's the only explanation i can think of as I have not seen one last more than a few weeks without stripping the teeth right off. I saw one once that had a "not for off road or high horsepower applications" tag in the box

Well, correct me if I'm wrong, the EZ locker itself was never a good lunchbox locker anyway?

I ran a quick lock for years in a cherokee on 33's. no problems at all. did i get lucky?

lockrights last a good 3-5 years depending on the use and when they wear out you just replace the springs and pins inside of it my buddy is running 40"s with lockrights and never had a problem with the locker.

Ive tried all three, and had the best luck with the lock-rite, but I would never agian put a locker in a d35, add traction to a d35 and they just deteriorate, bent tubes, spun tubes, broken shafts, I would lock the front and start saving for a d44 or 8.8 for the rear. a d35 may actually last a bit if you dont lock it.
