The keys to properly using a dial indicator are precision and patience. The payoff is a long-lasting driveline. The dial indicator is one of those specialized tools that has an intimidating reputation, but as with many things, understanding the components of the tool and how they work is half the game. A dial indicator typically measures the backlash of a ring and pinion gear. It can also be...

Lunchbox lockers provide reliable 100% lock-up traction at a low cost. The simplicity and ingenuity living within the Spartan Locker makes it better than conventional lunchbox lockers. The Spartan Locker’s patent-pending design replaces the spider gears in a standard carrier case without using the thrust washers, but the unit’s most revolutionary attribute is its spring-and-pin design. This...

How you go about measuring an axle depends on the axle type. Axles with yokes (front axle shafts) are measured from the center of the u-joint bore to the end of the splines. Semi-float and C-clip-equipped axle shafts are measured from the end of the shaft to the outer edge of the mounting flange. Full-float designs are measured from the spline ends to the front surface of the mounting flange....

There’s a lot riding on your axles… literally. There are all kinds of variables at work here… one of the more misunderstood is axle type. There are two styles of axles used in the rear of light-duty, four-wheel-drive trucks and SUVs; semi-float and full-float. Understanding Semi-Float Axles A semi-float axle features splines on its inner end to connect with the...
