I thought, what if you welded only 3 of the spider gears together (say top, bottom and one side) and then for the 4th side, ground off the sides of the teeth to create some free play then install with ground teeth aligned with other welded spiders.
This way you would be able to take road corners without chirps but essentially have a poor man's lunchbox locker.
