For example if you turn full lock and give it a small stab it will allow the inside wheel to spin more so.Usually it's the rhs wheel that'll spin more when there getting tired. Both should spin the same direction and have a reasonable resistance if 1 person holds one wheel stationary while the other person tries to turn the other wheel. Another way to check is take off quick on level, even surface ground quickly and induce wheel spin there should be sfa difference from where both your black lines start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
