I get how having the wheels of one axle on the ground (while the other axle is turning) might be bad for some AWD systems. But I thought we were saying that the axles should (ideally) be turning in opposite directions? That I don't get. I mean, if all 4 wheels are turning in the same direction, is that not the same as the vehicle coasting along the road? Or are we talking about protecting the gearbox here? I can see how opposing rotations might cancel out at the diff, preventing rotational forces from transferring to the gearbox.
