locker question ok either im missing a very basic understanding of how a locker works or i got the wrong parts. i had a locker installed(or so i was told) but after all was said and done the rear leaked so i had to take it back apart and re-seal the diff cover. anyway while i had it apart i spun the passenger side wheel and noticed that the drivers side didnt move. my understanding was that both should move if one does...is that wrong?

First off... it depends on which differential and which locker you are using.
If the differential is unloaded you may just be able to turn one tire without the other turning. That is not uncommon.
