Guys, when the car lifted up and let the wheel rotate in the air with D gear without press on pedal, will both of front wheel run together or 1 fast and another slow?

I found that front right wheel is running but front left wheel are not, the SC told me that it was normal, but i am think both wheel shall tight together with the shaft and this shouldn't be happened.

Any experts can explain to me?

Do a read up on Open Differential and you'll find the answer there.
If the subject sparks your interest, you'll automatically read more and eventually end up reading about LSDs as well smile.gif

"A vehicle's wheels rotate at different speeds, mainly when turning corners. The differential is designed to drive a pair of wheels while allowing them to rotate at different speeds. In vehicles without a differential, such as karts, both driving wheels are forced to rotate at the same speed, usually on a common axle driven by a simple chain-drive mechanism. When cornering, the inner wheel needs to travel a shorter distance than the outer wheel, so with no differential, the result is the inner wheel spinning and/or the outer wheel dragging, and this results in difficult and unpredictable handling, damage to tires and roads, and strain on (or possible failure of) the entire drivetrain." from Wikipedia.

Based on my understanding, open differential is conventional method and LSD is advance method.

My question is, when both wheel is on the air, the reaction force impose to both tires is almost the same, i.e. nearly zero, but then how come there was only 1 tire spin while other stop at D drive?

There are a couple of factors, but my best guess (without the direct assessment if your said-vehicle) is that the brake caliper for the 'slower' rotating wheel is providing friction, albeit a very minimal one smile.gif

hmm。make sense. Haha, anyway thanks for the explanation.
