Wheel spins on it's own!!??

[George16v]

When I jacked up the near side all was well - BUT when I jacked up the off side (the side the noise is coming from) the wheel started spinning - mmm what do you think?? anyone.

nature of a diff, the shorter driveshaft will spin

Oh lol!! Thank god for that cheers matey!!

But then why didn't it spin on the near side..

 

[benji&eka]

more pressure on caliper, more resistance on bearing/hub/driveshaft ect
i should add i just read the post properly and the n/s has the shorter driveshaft, which proves the above
