I'm getting ready to remove my Aussie locker and put spider gears back in. Without thinking I got rid of my spider gears when the locker was put in. I just got some used gears to replace the locker with, but they just don't look right to me. I cant remember exactly how my old gears looked, but it seems like the teeth should not be curved. From all the searching I've done, all the spider gears I've seen have had straight teeth. Heres a couple pics, notice how the teeth are not straight, and curve in the middle.

 

Bump. Need to know if these will work by wednesday

 

If i can find them, I'll take a look at my old spider gears tonight and post a pic so you can compare.

 

That would be awesome, thanks man

 

i have a IFS diff tore apart right now, and i will check in the morning to see if they are. im pretty sure they are suppose to be curved. they have a little bit of slack in between the teeth when they are assembled. mine is a 92 diff though, but they should be similar since lockers for them are the same, you diff just has a reverse cut ring gear

 

They should all be the same, as long as they are out of a v6 diff

 

yep mine look just like em. hopefully both of ours aint bad lol

 

You talking about the front ends.
He's asking about the rear ends.



Heres a pic of a spider gear out my Tacoma non TRD 8.4 rear. They have about 105K miles on them.


Yours look normal.

 

i think mine are curved as well...

 

Thanks everyone, I appreciate it

 

ohhhh crap! sorry buddy. why did i think you was talking about front ends for? oh well. my apologies
