spline lock

[Peter Zaborski <peterz@merak.com>]

Listers,

Sometimes one hears about the IRS TRs being afflicted with a condition known
as 'spline lock' in reference to the splines on the rear half-shafts. Can
anyone please describe to me what this means?

1. What are the symptoms of a car which suffers from spline lock?
2. What causes spline lock?
3. How does one eliminate spline lock?

Thanks in advance for any info on this topic.
