Dumb wheel direction question

Mar 07, 2010 3 Replies

This may sound silly but on a 1994 Dodge Caravan with the 3.0 engine and the automatic transmission are the drivers and passangers tires suppose to turn opposite directions when the vehicle is in Park? For example if the front of the vehicle was up on jack-stands and it was in Park and you turned the drivers wheel forwards is it normal that the passengers wheel would be turning backwards?


Unless the transmission is in neutral, yes.

That's the differential at work.

Yes - that is the differential in action.

Positively Newtonian!
