Swerving to miss a cat, my 3000 went up a curb and bent the rim of the right front wheel. I replaced the rim. My son put it up on a rack (he works at a tire store) and spun both wheels. The left front (driver) side wheel spins freely. The right front (passenger) is harder to spin. Is this because I have damage or because the right front is attached to somthing that would make it harder to spin.

Hi cdmilum,

Thank you for the donation.

The drive axles are attached to the front wheels so they would be harder to turn than the rear.

However both left and right should require similar amount forces to turn the wheels.
If it is extremely hard to turn, the brake calipers, pistons and slider bolts needs to be checked.
