Lock right Help

[nobodycares]

I have a Lock right in my ZJ that was working but before I went out wheeling the rear would only drive on the left side only. Has anyone else had this problem, and what should I look for when I tear in down? Are the teeth worn down, do I need to replace the springs..... any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I would check what you have mentioned. Then I would check the gap between the driven gear and the croos pin. This will tell you if the case is worn.

Silly but busted axle?

Yep. Check the teeth, check the 4 pins to make sure they didn't break(you can buy new ones for a few dollars..), and using feeler gauges, check the gap between the two halves of the lock rite.

You can go to richmond gear's website and download a new manual if you need to, to get the spec for the allowable gap between the halves.

Thanks for the info, I will be checking it out tonight.

The axle is ok. my guess is its worn.

Thanks again

Looks like the inner spacer that locks into the outer couplers sheered of a tooth and it got wedged and would not let the coupler engage with the inner part.
