detroit locker questions
me and a couple of friends just installed a new detroit locker, motive 3.73 gears, all new bearings and a girdle cover with studs. also did a umi torque arm and adjustable panhard rod too. but i noticed last night and today if i am in a curve and give the car gas or let off the gas it will pull or dart to one side or the other,sort of like the car don't want to go where i want it to. also it seems when i put the car into gear from park or neutral that there is a lot of movement in the rearend yoke. we have .10 backlash when we set the gears up. sometimes when i put it into gear it seems like just one wheel is engaged and it sort of tries to push the car one way or the other. anyone else have this experience with a locker? at first i thought it was the suspension but the more i drive the car i really think it is the locker in the rearend. by the way it is in my 10 bolt not that it should really matter.

: ) Maybe with a real loud stereo and the right music.
I know some people get used to them, but I never could. Finally changed to a TrueTrac.
