while installing the spartan locker on my jeep (chrysler 8.25 27 spline) I ran into an issue where one of the alignment springs fell out. does anyone have any advice? The tech number is closed for the fourth of july weekend and the car is my daily driver. any thoughts?

 

Not sure what you mean by alignment springs......but take it out, put it back together, and reinstall it

 

Did you lose it? I dont think it will but Don't risk gernading it. Be patient and put your spider gears back in till you get another one. It may just not unlock and lock properly, but that may put added stress on the other. Don't want a piece of that flying out and getting between your ring and pinion.

 

The spring can't "fall out", if you lost it you won't be installing it.

 

Agreed, but I had a shim crack and come out in my ramcharger, and the ring & pinion sure mashed it up, but no damage to them at all.
