This is while the car is lifted (all 4 wheels in the air)

Well the front 2 spin perfect even after letting go they spin for a few more seconds. The rear right spins so-so it moves enough the read left is nearly impossible to move. I have to put ALOT of force into it to move it. Now I dont know if this is normal or not. I checked the rotor and pad and they seem to have signs of normal wear. Its weird because I can hear the rotor barely touching the pad when it spins. Any suggestions or anything is apprecaited. I honestly dont have the cash for better brakes or what not so try to be conservative.

Thanks

 

Anyone got any ideas? Do I have to change the differential fluid?

 

unbolt the caliper on that side and see if the wheel spins freely. if not check the bearings and diff. if it does spin then check the parking brake cable and retract the piston before you put it back on.

 

oh and i think a torsen diff with the wheels in the air should act like an open diff, i.e. when you hold the driveshaft still and spin one wheel the other goes backwards.

 

Alright I removed the entire caliper. It moves *better* but still pretty dam hard. How would I go about checking the bearings and diff? Would the diff be making it THAT tough to spin? BTW I checked EVERYTHING Emergency Brake (even though I took it off). Any ideas are immensly apprecaited.

 

How hard should it be to spin it? Maybe Im just over reacting.

Dunno how much force is required to spin the left rear wheel. All I know is my car's left is a bit harder to spin than the right also.

 

you know if the car seems to drive ok and no odd noises from the rear i wouldnt worry about it.

 

With the wheel on (read: more leverage to spin it) it should be very easy to spin...like, no more than a few pounds of pressure to get it going and then it should spin relatively freely. I'd check that hub to be sure that it's got good bearings/grease in it.

 

Thats exactly it even with the wheel on I have quite the trouble. As soon as I let it go it will stop not even move another inch.
