1995 xj font axel

When I was putting tires on last nite I would rotate the tire and the front drive shaft turns.It acts like it is in four wheel drive. My son's 88 xj the front shaft is free. They both look like D30 but the 88 has vacuum motor to engage the axel. Is there something different about a1995? Thanks Dan
 
Not really, the normal front D30 w/o the disconnect turns the front driveshaft all the time, it just 'freewheels' in the transfer case. Then when you go to 4hi or 4lo the driveshaft is engaged thru the front output shaft on the TC.
With the vac disconnect I'm not sure, we've only had one of those on a 89 YJ. I never really looked to see how that reacts. Actually that yj is sitting outside, might jack it up and see for myself....though I can't run it till the new webber gets here.
