Why does only one of my tires burn out?
In general, it’s because you don’t have a locking or limited-slip differential. In that case, if there isn’t equal traction for both wheels, the one with the least grip will steal all the power and start to spin.
What does it mean when front wheel spins freely?
I’d bet when you turn the driver’s side wheel, you’ll notice the shaft turn between the front diff and the transfer case, the passenger side is just spinning the half shaft between the diff and the wheel and not the shaft between the front diff and the transfer case.
Why is the drivers side wheel so hard to turn?
The passenger side inner and outer tie rods where replaced last october, and the drivers side ones are original. My two biggest questions are: 1) why is the drivers side wheel so hard to turn? 2) what is causing the braking vibrations? Could my caliper be bad? Tie rods worn? A combination?
Why does my front wheel turn when I turn the transfer case?
As far as the wheels turning, it’s because you have an open differential. I’d bet when you turn the driver’s side wheel, you’ll notice the shaft turn between the front diff and the transfer case, the passenger side is just spinning the half shaft between the diff and the wheel and not the shaft between the front diff and the transfer case.
Why does my front wheel turn without the differential?
If you jack the truck up, there shouldn’t be play in the wheel. The wheel assembly shouldn’t move without the truck. As far as the wheels turning, it’s because you have an open differential.
