Just wait till the splines sheer off and you send an axle shaft to the wayside.
My opinion is to try and find a used factory posi and rebuild it or go aftermarket and get a true locker.

You obviously haven't driven it in the rain. Your time will come.

as the others have posted..... when something breaks from running a mini spool on the street I hope nothing bad happens.
