When Is Awd Not Awd?

[bitman]

I did a full explanation once on all this if somebody can find it.

BT - there is no centre diff on yours. If you look underneath there is a simple transfer box but it works by picking up on the front diff.

If you jack up both front wheels or both rear wheels and turn one side clockwise you will find the other side goes anti-clockwise. Another strange but normal feature of any diff!

bear in mind that our rav 4 is an automatic ;)

Anchs. You explained it in full in a thread I started when I got the KevRav. Out and about just now but will look it up when I'm back.

Aye - thats one description but I think I did a much longer one. As long as it helps, it will do!!

Thanks for digging it out, I had to go to work for a while.
