Hi, I'm just checking the bearings as one of my fronts is a slightly rough so will need changing soon, with the car jacked up the fronts both rotate freely for a while after you let go as does the passenger side rear, the drivers side rear turns freely when pushing but barely continues when let go, of course it will have resistance from the diff but how easily should it turn? and should both rears have similar resistance?
Thanks

Re: Rear wheel resistance
One side of the rear axle will be turning the propshaft so will have more resistance and the diff action may turn the other wheel in reverse.

Re: Rear wheel resistance
I noticed when I recently fitted a new axle casing to my 63 saloon and ran it up on axle stands that the drivers side wheel seemed to have much 'go' than the ps one which was hardly moving at all.
