front wheel drive question

Asked by 4gy6 Aug 09, 2009 at 07:22 PM about the 2005 Honda Civic Coupe

Question type: General

Do both front wheels drive the honda equally or just the right one. what could be wrong if only the right drives the car? If I jack the front end up, put it in gear and rev the engine the right wheel turns correctly but I can stop the left wheel with my hand.

don't worry, there's nothing wrong with your car, thats the way all cars with open differentials work. I assure you, your car is operating exactly the way it should.
