    Open or Closed d44? Searched.

    1999 I6 AW4 231 RE SYE D44 (1987) open or closed???? I'm confused. I was under the impression that if you jack the rear up spin one side the other side will either spin with it in same direction (closed diff) or in opposite direction (open diff). Well the other wheel in this just stays...
