I just had the two rear wheels up and when I spin them the prop-shaft turns easily- more easily than the other wheel in reverse even though the auto-box is in park. It also makes a squeak/rub from the front. Is this normal, is this just the viscous coupler, could this be uj on prop shaft which causes problem?

Any idea how I can confirm the problem - too dodgy for me to lift all wheels and run at speed.
The symptoms were just a drone from the rear (like wheel bearings) swapped bearings side to side which made no difference.

Removed propshaft (no difference)

With prop removed run car on 2 post ramp (no noise)

replaced diff unit and Hey presto !! quite again
