Since changing the front seal on my 85, there seems to be a roar when the front end is locked in. It does not make the sound when in free. Everthing went back together really smooth, fresh grease, bearings were good. Is this normal?

Also- 1 locker seems to turn further than the other, Almost twice as far. The one that turns furtherest lines up with the markings on the hub for lock/free. The other does not. Is it possible that I need to adjust the locker?

Thanks for any help-- just a noob trying to learn!

Sounds like you put the locking hubs on incorrectly. I would pull off the locking dials (the outer piece) and make sure they are both on properly. If you put a lot of grease in there, wipe out almost all of it, you only need a very light film inside the locking part. Too much will create a suction effect and keep the hubs from locking or unlocking properly.

Would that also create the roar?

If 4crawler suggested in you can bet it is correct.
