I was going to change my transfercase oil today. But when I propped it up on stands and turned on the ignition, I noticed that only 3 of the wheels were spinning.

Here is a video: https://*******/yPh9

The front right (passenger) side is spinning faster than the rear right side.
The front left (driver) side wasn't spinning (well, only a little).
The rear were spinning in sync.

I used my hands to spin the front right to see if it was a brake issue, but it doesn't feel like it. I also opened the throttle to see if it would start spinning, and it did. But it eventually stopped again.

When I turned the car off and spun the front two wheels with my hand: I spun driver side and observed the passenger side wheel, it seemed to spin at the same rate (1:1). But when I spun the passenger side wheel with my hand I noticed that the driver side wheel was barely moving.

I speculated that there is something wrong with the transfer case. Or is it the front LSD? Unless there is another opinion? OR is this how it's supposed to function?

 

Havent brushed up on the diffs in a while but I believe the front diff is OPEN

My RS has a front LSD as standard

I think what youve displayed is normal

 

Okay, this is good to know. Thanks for this.
Is there something that I can reference just to know for certain?

+1 for open diff.
