9 Bolt ?

Ok. The car is a 87 IROC with l98 and 700r4 and it has the bw rear with disc brakes. So one day I was working on the rear of the car and was just playing around and moved the wheels with it still in park. One spined one way and the other the other way. The driveshaft wouldn't spin. So I was over at a buddys house working on it and we had the rear up. So I showed him and he never seen anything like that. He was wondering why it would not roll when on a hill. So we let the jack down and with the car in park it would not move. Also when we had the car up in the air. We started the car and put it in drive and both wheels turn the same way. Plus the car spins both tires asfar as I know. It get's sideways and leaves 2 black markes. Anyways. I'm just wondering if my rearend is normal or is somthing strange going on. Thanks in advance! Adam :-)

I think if you have a posi rear end one tire is supposed to spin one way and the other goes the other direction.

If you think about it, when your on a hill and one tire goes one direction, and the other goes the other direction, it would hold the car in place.

Just a guess.
