That is true of a solid axle too. With the car on jack
stands there is no traction and no action for there to be an
equal but opposite reaction.

I DO see and understand the point of the wheel bearing
not being able to transmit torque back to the knuckle.
Apparently I had it screwed up in my head. My main source of
confusion is the wheel hop in a friend's C6. What do you say
causes the C5 and C6 wheel hop?
