Aussie locker concern

I just got a new Aussie locker and 4.56 gears installed into my 8.25 rear axle. I have only driven it 100 miles. And the locker unbinds on right turns but binds on left turns. Is there something wrong? Or does the locker still need to break in?

You might try to swap the halves with each other. That happened to me one time and that cured it for me

Well it’ll be 3 weeks before I can do that so either it breaks in by then or I’ll try that

How would that affect a rear locker?

I have the same setup, had the Aussie for 3 years and no issues at all. Did all the tolerances meet specs?
