If you mean the front drive shaft, yes it should.
Yes.Yes.
It will turn when driving because there isn't a disconnect from the front axle. It should be disconnected inside the transfer case.
Well, honey, if you’re in 2HI on a 1997 Jeep Wrangler, that front drive shaft shouldn’t be spinning like a disco ball at a '70s party. In 2HI, power is only going to the rear wheels, so that front drive shaft should be taking a nap and enjoying the ride. If it's doing the electric boogaloo when it shouldn't be, you might want to have a chat with a mechanic before it starts charging cover for its performance.
yes it will, but not because it is being driven by the transfer case, but because the front axle is turning it
It will turn by hand, But not while going down the road.
Yes, the shaft is still connected to the front tires through the front differential, so it will turn while driving.
Yes you can turn it with your hand when it is in 2-wheel drive ONLY.
If the motor's shaft will not turn (is locked) because maybe its bearings have seized - up or the thing it is driving has got damaged so it won't allow the shaft to turn, the motor will overheat in short-order.
The bar or shaft which helps a wheel to turn is called an axle.
yes
The Crank shaft turns and causes the cam shaft to turn, the pumps to turn, the alternator to turn, the transmission gears to turn, the transmission causes the drive shaft to turn, the drive shaft causes the differential to turn (in rear wheel drive models) this turns the axles and the axles turn the wheels. In a front wheel model, the transmission turns the axles shaft that turns the wheels. In a 4x4 the transmission splits to turn the front drive shaft and the rear drive shaft. (then the differential and the axles etc. The other thing that is counted is the steering wheel but it never really completes a whole revolution.
this is nice
