Decided to go ahead and call aussie just to get thier take on possible cuases.
Aussie said the only way the c clip eliminator could cuase it is if the spring isnt holding enough tension and is letting the axle slip out and **** sideways a little and tiwsitng the locker with it enough to let a pin pull out to far. ( basically the locker could be twistign and closing the gap on oneside and opening it on the other which is taking tension off two of the springs) Which makes complete sense to me
Currently my cam gears are spaced at .150 which is how the aussie installed locker I repalced in MAy was too. Guy on the phone said that is PERFECT spacing but suggested I tighten it up just a little and try tightening the tension on the eliminator spring.
I'm going to try whats been suggested and keep the eliminator.
On another note I found a spring that is a tiny bit bigger diameter than the echo spring. Its about an inch longer also. It comes from a power stroke oil filter check valve, which is located under the filter. When changing the oil in one at work one day the spring shot out at me and we had to order a new check valve in for the guy. I kept the spring becuase it looked similar to the echo spring. I dug it out since I had my front end apart and here are the comparisons.
The one on the shaft is the oil filter spring
There isnt much room to tighten the "tension" on the echo spring becuase the axle necks down. I think running this spring should allow for more tension adjustment.
