I have a 2002 GMC Envoy SLT and I just rebuilt my front axle disconnect and I realize with the front end on jack stands, in park obviously, parking brake on, the drivers side wheel will spin freely, however the passenger side wheel only does a partial spin of about 15 degrees back and forth. Is this normal? I really did not pay attention to this before and my biggest concern is I may have messed up the axle disconnect during assembly and it is bound up. I have engaged AWD and disengaged and I get the exact same result, drivers side spins freely, passenger only about 15 deg back and forth, no matter if I am in AWD or 2HI. Thanks a lot, Chad.

Nevermind, I'm a dumbass, axle was not in all the way!! I knew something didn't seem right, both wheels should definitely spin freely in case any one is wondering.
