BW 9-Bolt

Just a simple question, when I raise the rear end, put it in neutral, turn one wheel, the other is going in the same direction.
It's supposed to do so, right?

Yes it has, but I was just wondering if both wheels should turn in the same direction?

Happy anniversary . I spent some time in Europe long ago (taught school in Annecy, France), and while there, I did hit the Netherlands--I remember stupidly turning into a bike path with my Volkswagen and getting some stony looks. Beautiful country.

Thanks again!
I've been on vacation in the USA many times, but I have to admit never in Kansas!
I still think it's the most interesting country in the world!
When our 2 years old son is older we will go again!

Another question about the BW 9 bolt rear; is the GM additive necesary or not?
I use synthetic Castrol 75W140 gear oil with the GM additive right now, no problems though.
