Hard Braking With Rear Detroit Locker

[CBNFPRT]

I have a Detroit in the rear and earlier today I had to do a hard brake while veering right at about 30-40 mph. All was well until halfway through the ordeal there was a loud bang in the rear. Didn’t really feel anything hop or jostle, just a loud ass bang almost like someone rear ended me. Pulled over and everything looked/felt normal and driving the rest of way home felt business as usual and felt like the locker was still doing it’s regular behavior when making a sharp turn out of a parking lot. Is this a byproduct of having a locker when rear wheels are close to locking up, but engaged in a turn on pavement? Have had the locker in there for years and have the normal pop that occurs once in a while on pavement, but never a bang. I thought something broke by the volume of the noise, but so far all seems ok.

Sounds like the Detroit did it’s thing.

Yep, that is what they do to release bound up energy. Sometimes it can be a bit unnerving at times.

Yeah, I had one in my old Jeep and it would make that noise and I thought that something catastrophic had happened the first few times I heard it. But it's "normal" if you want to call that noise "normal".
