Did the vendor that sold you the unit inform you on the characteristics of a locker? Get used to it is all I'm gonna say.

 

welcome to the world of using the locker

 

that clunk is part of what makes having a locker . its all part of being able to put the power to the pavement.

 

Thanks for the replys, now have peice- of- mind , just welded axel tubes, UPS arrived with stud kit and ta cover, set of air bags, adjustable tork arm AND new set of M/T street radials
( I may be going back into this thing next week) , ran locker waaayyy back in mid 60's for about 6 years on the street behind 427 mustang, I did not remember the characteristics
thanks again, Johnny
