i was told by a couple of friends, that know DSM´s and they told me, that i gotta check if the AWD property is working fine, i know i gotta mount the car in 4 jacks, but i did a little test today, i mouted the car in 1 normal jack, and i found that the front wheels would spin, when its in neutral, when i got it in 1st gear, then it doesnt spin anymore, and the rear wheels dont spin, either on gear or neutral.. is this ok? i can feel that all the wheels spin when i launch it, but i might be wrong.. what can i check? should i worry about something? thanks in advance :)
 
does yur car have the driveshaft on it , ### if you have the car on the lift runnin and in gear all tires should move

my understanding on this, is that if the car is lefted up, in netrual or in gears, the tires should not move, i did this test while the car was off, and the rear wheels dont spin, either on gear or neutral, but the front ones, spin, in neutral but not in gear. is there something wrong here? also, how do i check the driveshaft thing? :thumb:
