Getting the Wheeling Fever

jack one wheel up and try to spin it. If you cant (because the other is attached via welding) it probably isnt a detroit. If you can spin that wheel and the other doesnt its not welded. To make sure you have a locker in there still have one wheel in the air and turn the drivshaft. If you can turn the driveshaft and only the wheel in the air spins, you dont have a locker in there.

Hopefully i explained this correctly!
