What would cause my left rear wheel to be locked up when in drive but spins fine when in reverse?
I have a 1988 cadillac fleetwood brougham with a olds 307 and it has been sittin for a few months. I went out and started it the other day to move it and put air in the tires. When i put the car in reverse it backed up with no problem, but when I put it in drive and tryed to pull forward the left rear wheel is locked up but the right rear spins freely, what would cause this problem?
