wheel drive

had my r up on the ramp 2day, all 4 wheels in the air, ran it up in gear and noticed all wheels spin apart from the passengers front, which was spinning but only a little bit. just wondered if this is normal???

ta =)

A similar thing happens to front wheel drive vehicles mate, the passenger side doesn't spin as fast, i wouldn't worry it sounds normal to me.

The passenger side wheel i would say has greater energy losses as a result of all the gearing and longer distance from the transfer (looking at the front wheels alone) etc.

the front is an open diff so one side can spin without other the rear has an lsd so will both turn together
