Just installed driveshaft

[Daves69Coupe]

I just finished installing the driveshaft in my car when my dad pointed out that the axles were spinning without the driveshaft spinning so i spun the driveshaft and the axles were spinning. Is it normal for axles to spin on there own or is something wrong?

so this is normal for an open differential rear

Normal.

yes i realized it when i spun one axle the other one moved the opposide direction so I knew it was fine once I saw that. If the were spinning the same direction I would of had a problem lol

Yes. You would have had the problem known as "Trac-Lok, Posi-Trac, Equi-Trac, etc." It's a condition that most people pay a lot of money for in order to gain traction. Glad you don't have to worry about that.

I just paid a good deal of money for my car to acquire that problem...
