It depends on the torque distribution, the power of the car, and how many revs you give the start. A big, off-road 4x4 will have about a 40/60 front/rear torque distribution, meaning that with enough revs, yes, they will all spin. But a sportier 4x4 system, such as a Subaru Impreza, the distribution is about 30/70, while the answer may still be yes, however it will not be a balanced spin, the rear wheels will spin far faster than the back.

Do 4 wheels spin in 4 wheel drive?
i depends. some 4 wheel drives move all for and others turn all four. some even do both
Why does only one wheel spin when you get stuck?
The car's differential gear will transfer power equally to both drive wheels, and if one has no friction at all (sand, water, or not touching ground) it will spin freely. In loose mud or water, both wheels will spin.
What is a all wheel drive?
Do you mean four wheel drive ? If so, it means all wheels drive a vehicle.
What is different between four wheel drive and all wheel drive?
all wheel drive has power going to all 4 wheels all the time the vehicle is in motion My 1995 Ford Explorer is four wheel drive , it has a two wheel drive setting that powers the rear wheels , a 4x4 automatic setting where if the back wheels slip some of the power is transferred to the front wheels , and a 4x4 low setting that sends power to all 4 wheels continuously for off road use at reduced speeds
What is the difference between all wheel drive and front wheel drive?
To get a car to move the power from the engine has to be transferred to at least two of the cars wheels on the same axle. If these two wheels are at the front then the car is a front wheel drive, if the two wheels are at the back then it is a rear wheel drive. Some modern cars however now have mechanisms that deliver power to all four of the wheels at once, this is a four wheel or all wheel drive.
What is the difference between all wheel drive and rear wheel drive?
All wheel drive means all 4 wheels are driving the vehicle. RWD means only the rear wheels are driving the vehicle, and FWD means only the front wheels are driving the vehicle.
Front wheels drive means both front wheels connected to the engine. Rear wheels drive means both the rear wheels connected with engines. 4wd means all the 4 wheels are connected with engine.?
No. At least with rear wheel drive without posi track only one rear wheel drives the vehicle. Not sure if there's a drive wheel or if both wheels pull the vehicle on a front wheel drive. It's hard to find rear wheel drive anymore. It's usually only produced now on sports/muscle car models if at all
Can you put front wheel drive wheels on a all wheel drive car?
As long as their the right size.
Is four wheel drive front wheel drive or rear wheel drive on the 1992 Subaru Loyale?
loyale is front wheel drive, then when you engage 4wd the power is equally distributed to all wheels. four wheel drive is ALL wheel drive, just listen to the name and count the number of wheels on your car i bet they match perfectly unless it is somehow a dually (2 wheels on each side of the rear of the truck [does not apply to cars]) which i doubt on a subaru
How do you get the all wheel drive to kick in for a 2000 CRV?
You can't do it manually. The operation is entirely controlled by the vehicle's on-board computer which - when it senses wheel-slip from the front drive-wheels - automatically sends a signal that engages the drive shaft to the rear wheels, placing it in all-wheel drive mode.
What is the difference between four-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive?
The basic concept is that 4x4 runs 4 wheels when you need it. All wheel drive runs them all the time regardless. The difference is, with 4x4 you get the option of high and low gears in 4x4, and not the same way with all wheel drive. "All Wheel Drive" vehicles do not run all 4 wheels at the same time. In low traction situations, the power is transferred from back wheels to front wheels where the engine weight is, when wheel spillage is detected. But "AWD" never delivers power to all 4 wheels at the same time. 4WD vehicles can power all 4 wheels at the same time, assuming that both ends are equipped with limited-slip diffs., or at least to three wheels (both rear & 1 front) if equipped with a rear diff locker only.

What is all-wheel drive?
All wheel drive is automatic:no driver interaction is needed.The system senses a loss of traction and redirects available engine torque to the wheels that have the most traction and away from the wheels that are slipping.
