hello every one I have acquired a b tyre axle for a Build of mine took the break covers off and I have noticed that one side turnes at normal speed and the other side is very slow when turning shaft. Is this right or is there some think seriously wrong
Cheers bash

Chances are that it did  Don't worry about it as long as both sides turn and there are no horrid noises. Lock one side at a time to check all is ok. |

Hi ash. your axle is fine they all do it. it they both turned together in the same direction then you would have problems.
what are you putting on reliant or bike engine

Terry is correct. The fact that one side rotates the other way, or at a different speed really is not a problem.
If they rotated the same way and at the same speed it would mean you had a welded or locked diff.

If you use that tea pot engine check drive rotation as you may have to turn the axle over
