Drive shaft Issue??

[mikel24]

I was trying to get out the snow yesterday and to begin with i only had my passenger wheel spinning then depending on where the Steering wheel was located it switched to driver side, at times both front wheels were spinning.... Is this a problem with my drive shafts?? Need help.

Not on ice/snow.

Just means you'll not get anywhere quick

nope, just the power goes to whichever wheel spins freely

[mikel24]

So everything should be fine when i get back onto the road? lol

HAHAAHAHAHAHA sorry that is quite funny,

basically its the differential, if you imagine a car going round a corner the outside wheel travel's a greater distance than the inside wheel, so therefore the driven wheels need to rotate at a different speeds. but in slippery conditions the Drive goes to the Easyest route ie the wheel which is spinning. hence when you hear of people welding the diff's this elimates the problem but it is more difficult to drive on the road. :y:
