if both front wheel are off the ground both will turn through ird diff oppsite ways ,if you jack one front wheel it will have to turn ird and so rear through vcu,if you jack one rear wheel up it will have to turn vcu it should turn stiffly with a bar on a wheel nut , two rear wheels up both spin, so in effect they are correct
