Ok noticed this today when the engine was on and the car jacked up with wheels off.

Sometimes when im sat stationary the car does move forward slightly....

Anyone know whats causing this?
Or am i just being a complete retard?

Unsure

Really? Never seen it before. Basically the car is in neutral jacked up and the drivers disk/driveshaft is rotating slightly on its own! Worried me a bit.

Will try the vid again....

Chris you pansy LOL

That's no problem my friend. The reason for the passenger spinning and driver side not is due to the shortness of the passenger shaft compared to drivers. It's to do with the diff you will also find that the car will wheel spin from left to right depending on where the power is needed/being sent

that's what the diff does, or rather an open geared diff, all the force will take the easiest path.

plate diff wouldn't let that happen.
