Topic: aussie broke

[12runner]

i thought it was odd that the pins broke. i just put it in my truck this week and tride it out then it broke,  called aussie to day they r sending me new pins.  iv installed 2 other aussies and they have worked fine for over a year now.

thats shitty.... front or rear?

Weird thats exactly how I broke my lockright. Were the pices lodged in there causing it to act like a spool as well? You should inspect your crosspin as well, mine was broke clean in two, and I couldn't tell till I pulled it all apart.

That sucks. What RPM were you at? and what were you trying to climb?

Could it too much wear in your case?....did you check the 2 tolerance measurements that are mentioned in the instructions?

Tks for the pics.  Please report back if ya discover why they broke. 

How long has that locker been installed?
