Hi Beav,

Welcome to the club. Thank you for the input. The wheels were off and the blocks were under the suspension. The front blocks were under the bolts for the ball joint and the rear was under the lower control arm knuckle. The CV's were at the proper angle. The car weight was on the suspension.

Yes the ABS lights come on but the system does not try to brake the wheels. The light comes on when just one of the front wheels is spinning. This happens until the differential warms up and then both the wheels spin. The ABS light goes out after the car is run on pavement and stopped and started.

The disks are held on with the lug nuts or yes the disk will wobble around.

Randy,

Thanks for the advise on not doing this. One has to be real gentle with the brake pedal because the drive train will stop real fast without the momentum of the car.

The service manual actually says to do this, run the car on a lift after it is warmed up, to check out the proper voltage for the lock-up solenoid. So maybe it isn't a good idea and the service manual is wrong? Check out section 3-2 page 181 of 1992 SSM

Out of sheer fustration for a lack of SVX RWD I have done this on my other two Subaru's and the rear wheels spin on those cars.
