Hamtheman Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 So I've had a few strange noises when reversing and turning (not me - the Eclat), got the Eclat up in the air this morning and spun one of the rear wheels, to my surprise the opposite wheel didn't move, tried the other side and the same result. Normal behavior for an open diff is the wheels spin in the opposite direction, Am I correct in thinking there is an issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozza74 Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 Ive found it depends what has the least resistance - the other wheel or the input shaft. It could just be slightly stiff wheel bearings / brakes that means the rotation is making its way to the input shaft rather then the other wheel.

EXCEL V8 Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 Yes - definitely check the brakes (including the notorious handbrake mechanism) for binding, and repeat the test with the car in gear. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
