[Thicko] Halfshaft Repair, Now - Diff OK?

[Tony Drews]

If you have an open diff (not welded), that can be normal.  If you 
try to slow down the drivers side wheel without injuring yourself the 
passenger side should start turning too.  If the brake is dragging a 
little on the passenger side, you'll have that happen.
