Those with Dana30 Lock-Rights

Do you normally re-use the factory cross shaft when installing the lockright? I thought Dana30 insertable lockers came with a new cross shaft. This is going in my 91' XJ. TIA.

I used my factory. But you really need the high strength one.

Call randys R&P.

Ya you reuse the factory pin. Make sure your bearings are in good shape or it will pop and bang like crazy

You can use the stock shaft, but it is not recommend.

I bought a hardened pin. IIRC, in the install book it says warranty is void if a "soft" pin is used. I got it from Randys R&P for around $30.

FWIW, my 8.8 stock center pin is hardened.

I reused my cross shaft. In the instructions is said if you can't scratch it with a file then you have a hardened shaft. If I did scratch it I think I would have gotten one though.

Of course mine is an after market gears and deferential case less than a year old.

I used the hardened one from my factory carrier.
