my buddy just installed a lockright in the front.now, it keeps breaking axels(rh side).not even wheeling hard.we've replaced all a-arms bushings,all ball joints,rack bushings.
he has a fabtech/fox coilover and the right side knuckle seems to hit on the spring more than the left does.
any help would be appreciated.

Pretty common with a front locker in a IFS Taco..There's no where for the load to go when one wheel stops or slows down, unlike an open diff where the load transfers to the other side..That's the number one reason I'm still "open" in the front..

its not common in my taco, and i wheel the snot out of it.

pilot error? Tell your buddy to quit driving like an east coaster. :flipoff1:

i wish it was only driving style. but there must be something else mechanical..cant figure it out.
