Default 9in with locker need help

Just got done putting a moser 9 in in my 02 Z and took it out today. the thing clunks very bad when shifting gears.... thought it may be the torque arm hitting the floor and that wasnt the case... is this normal with a locker and a T-56? or do i maybe have soemthign wrong?

should only be clunking making turns...Mine isnt a locker, but it does make alot more audible noise sometimes when casually shifting.

Mine doesn't really make any noise if the front wheels are straight, but it does do the "locker side-step" a lot when shifting.

Sounds typical for a locker. Mine is coming out in favor of a tru-trac or clutch posi, not sure yet. But I drive my car in the street and like to accelerate out of corners without having the locker bang and kick the car sideways.

For me, the locker with a stick = misery.

I'd put some miles on it first to see if that doesn't help out. Bob
