Thank you Admin for the clarification. I am talking about the front end DANA 44 It was wrong thinking the DANA 44 was 28 spline your product and review article was awsome I can’t wait to do this project.

Thanks again,
Romulus Bronco

@ spieser – I do notice some noise on turns if the conditions are right. But for the most part I don’t hear it unless I’m listening for it. I do notice it in the steering wheel though when engaged. See the 3rd paragraph near the top of this article.

@ Romulus Bronco – It sounds like you’re asking about the rear end (Ford 9″). This install is on the front end (dana 44). You’re correct that Aussie only makes a locker for the Bronco rear end in 31 spline, which is not stock. But their locker for the Dana 44 front end is for the stock axles (ie. 30 spline inners)

I don’t have a tech article specifically dealing with gear changes, but this Aussie article and the Ox locker one should give some good pointers. Be sure to click to the 2nd page of each article. http://classicbroncos.com/tech/ox-locker-install

But those are both for the front end. If you’re talking about the rear end, no, there aren’t any tech articles on the site for gear swapping in a 9″. But it’s been discussed on the forums before and I’m sure if you post any additional questions you’ll get plenty of help.

It sounds like you use the stock axles but I tried to find one of these Aussie lockers and they said they only come in 31 spline. Do you have a part#? Also I am planning on a new gear install with 3.56 gears. Do you have any tech info on this?

Thank you

Does this locker make noise when it is “unlocking” when turning? Is it fairly noisy or quite?
