Where does the front differential turn in 2WD?

Power from the drive shaft is transferred through the differential to each wheel, causing them to turn. Keeping this in consideration, does the front drive shaft turn in 2wd?

Why are my front wheels able to spin freely?

P locks the transmission, but not the differential. If the wheels spin independent of the other in this mode – one spins freely while other doesn’t spin at all – that’s an indication of a problem w/ the transmission selector is in P. But if one spins one way and the other spins the other way, that’s normal operation for a differential.

Why is the front wheel not engaged in a 4×4?

Could be possible that the transfer case is bad, and what you’re seeing is the driveshaft turning because the actuators have kicked in… but the only reason its turning is because the front wheels are. About the only way I could think of to rule that out would be to lift all 4 wheels and put it in gear.

What makes the wheel spin when the car is in neutral?

If it’s a FWD with a manual transmission, the wheel you turn will spin the ring gear (sometimes called a “crown gear” ’cause it looks kind of like a crown), which will turn the opposing wheel in the opposite direction. If it’s in neutral, you can even spin one wheel without turning the other.
