He probably has a conventional rear end (no limit slip), and the spider
gears are coming into play. One rear wheel turning one way and the
other the opposite. If he will get a 2 freinds to help and hold the
tires so that both are turning the same way he will get a good reading.
Also if he just jacks up side and turns it he will get a false readings
because of the spiders.
