Should both front wheels rotate freely if parked in 2Hi?

    My searchfoo sucks so I'll just ask. If parked and shut off and left in 2Hi should the the front wheels rotate freely if only one side jacked up. In other words if say the right side wheel is off the ground, left side on the ground, should the right side rotate freely? Thanks!

    Ok good. The reason I asked is because when I did my front brakes not too long ago I could have sworn that they did not turn freely and I was definitely in 2wd drive then.

    There is a good chance a piston in your caliper is sticking.

    There will be some drag from the brakes and the front diff/axle.
