Leaving 2 wheels on the ground will make the car more stable.

Thanks, are you saying that I can lift one corner at a time and the wheel would still spin even if other side is on ground if in neutral? |

That's why there is a differential - to let the wheels turn at different speeds - in your case an extreme of one not turning at all |

But You'll need to be feeling strong if you're going to try spinning with just one wheel off the ground, there is a lot of resistance Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

Not much resistance when turning the rear wheels at all. Fitted new rear discs to mine only last week. |
