From what i remember in my past civics and sol and my sisters civic the wheels wouldnt turn when the car was in park and jacked up.

My question is: IF my g/f's 97 civic EX is in park and jacked up should the wheels be able to freely spin (like if i were to tighten lugs,etc.)?

 

I can't with my auto 92

not sure about your 97

 

If it's an AT then the front wheels will not spin while in park. But, I wouldn't apply any force (such as torqueing your lug nuts) because it may substantually f*ck up your tranny.

 

i gotta a 96 and the wheels in the rear will turn while jacked up, but not the front

 

yeah ive got a 97 ex as well and wheels turn while jacked up with p break on. im pretty sure .

Well im not talking about torquing them down all the way, i just mean like not much force at all. I mean you can spin the tires with your hand on the tire.
