I am trying to diagnose a strange noise coming from the driveterrain in slow speeds which feels like something is rubbing somewhere. As a test I want to put the car on jack stands and put it in neutral and rotate the tires and driveshaft to see if it freely rotates and if any rubbing or strange noise is present.
I have some questions:
- Once I lift the car and its on jack stands, I release the hand brake and put the car on neutral.
- At this point the driveshaft is disengaged from the transmission.
- Do I need to go under the car and rotate the driveshaft OR can I simply rotate one of the wheels and both the other wheel and the driveshaft will also turn?
- Instead of doing this by hand, can I run the car on 1st gear and very gently release the clutch to simulate the driving motion? Is this harmful to the car?
Any other tips are welcome
