Hello, I am afraid I might have caused damage to my front differential / driveline. I was doing a brake job on my 2010 Xterra SE. Using the stock jack I had to jack up one side at a time. Vehicle was turned off in park and 4X4 was Not engaged. My Question / concern is this. - Would spinning only this front right side wheel while all other wheels are on ground and vehicle is in park cause damage to my drivetrain?

Are they able to spin freely independently from one another? Or was this a stupid mistake I made? looking back I wish I would have given this more thought but completely alluded my mind in the moment.

Any help / input is appreciated. Thank you.

Part it out? its broken now... lol


JK..
It's fine.. the truck is literally 1 wheel drive at the front and 1 wheel drive at the back...
If you had lifted both wheels, the other wheel would have spun the opposite direction.

Don't worry about it. You're good.
