what kind of locker? Most lockers will ratchet or click when turning. It's the sound of the locker teeth skipping over each other when it's not locked up. The insert lockers tend to be more pronounced.

Sounds normal to me. I have Aussie lockers in both the front and rear and the front one is pretty quiet unless I make a U turn but the rear one is super loud pretty much all the time. If you have a lunchbox locker these sounds are normal.

Is this normal for an e locker though ? Was gona ask 4 wheel parts where i bought it but thell probly say i installed it wrong. The gear pattern and back lash are perfict. I thought mabe it was binding my chromally axel shaft u joints. Havent found much till i seen your posts thanks alot. I hope this is normal
