Oddball Question

Post by aj81spider »

My car is up on jack stands getting restored. I have gotten the engine running and am curious. When the engine is running, with the car in neutral the passenger side rear tire moves slowly. The driver side doesn't seem to.

Is this harmless or indicative of something I may have done wrong reassembling things?

I'm sure this is fairly normal if you have an open diff. If you hold that tyre, the other may move...others chime in if this is not the case
