Hi,
I own a Santro GLS model 2008.
I had taken it to the dealer for maintenance and after they had done the servicing, I noticed that the front wheels do not freely move.
When I asked the Dealer the same, they said that the front wheels are connected to the drive shaft and hence the resistance?
Is this true?
I suspect that the brakes have been made tight?
Could this be the problem?

Thanks in advance
Philip

Are you referring to turning with the steering wheel or rotating the wheels by hand? Do you notice some new problem while driving? The brakes can not "be made tight". Disc brakes are self-adjusting and release the correct amount automatically.

If you're rotating the wheels by hand, you're turning lots of stuff inside the transmission. If the transmission is in gear and the clutch is released, the other wheel will turn in the opposite direction when you spin one by hand.
