ACTUALLY with no load one might turn and the other not due to the spider gears. If you notice they were turning pretty close to the same speed. If it were a 3.73/1 gear (just for example) if both were turning the driveshaft would go around 3.73 times to every one the half shafts were IF THEY WERE BOTH TURNING. If one turns and it is going 3.73 to one then there is trouble. IF only one is turning then the other will go double the speed.

Do the same test and put a pair of vise grips or a chain wrench around the half shaft that is turning, it should lite the other one up. That one is going to turn easier anyway being it is a less angle. The angle is normal especially for being jacked up.

I think you are going to see the left turning when the right one is bound and it will take you to the hubs. There are multiple articles on permanently locking your hubs which shouldn't be a problem. Yes the shafts spin all the time then but you shouldn't notice a huge difference. Ford went to that anyway early in 2000, canceled the vacuum hubs and just locked them up, I have one and just learned this a couple weeks ago or so on this forum.

Glad you came back, now grab your dad kicking and screaming and drag him back in. :)

Gave you some rep too.
