Chrysler 8.25 rear end. Symptoms are loud clicking all the time around corners. Never did that before. Horrible road manners. Almost like it's locked all the time, although I know it's not. The main thing is from a stop. If I accelerate hard it'll slip. Just sit there and grind, Jeep not moving, until I back off the throttle. Then it'll lock and give me a chirp out of the tires and I start to move. I cracked open the rear end to have a look. Nothing looks out of the ordinary? No springs laying in the bottom, or any metal shavings anywhere. All the springs are fully seated in the slots of the locker. I refilled with new synthetic, took it for a spin and the same thing. Any ideas anyone? I'm thinking possibly the springs in the locker are failing / wore out. I have about 35k on the locker, mostly highway miles. Thanks for reading.
