ratcheting sound from lockers

[thistle3585]

I have an unknown set of lockers in my AMC20 . Since its started snowing, I've noticed that when I'm sliding/slipping on snow when braking that the lockers sound and feel horrible. It feels like a broken ratchet. I've only noticed it in 2WD. I am getting rid of these in the next couple weeks but I'm curious if this normal.

If its a "lunchbox" style locker yup , its normal. Page 1 scroll down and youll see where the sound comes from under Lunchbox lockers:

Yes, I was told it was a lunch box locker. Thanks.

It sounds horrible? It feels like something is broke? That's good. That's how it's supposed to sound. They sound like that when they lock and unlock.

as long as it locks up when you accelerate its all good.

Make sure your pressures are the same in both the tires also.
