Default all wheels on jack stands only passenger wheel spins

I have a 2004 Jaguar X-TYPE with 90,000 miles 3.0 engine automatic American car. The car makes a rubbing noise in drive and the steering wheel shakes back and forth like crazy. I jacked all 4 wheels up on jack stands and put the car in drive only the front passenger wheel is spinning. Do any of you have any possible solutions

I know this seems weird, but you have an open diff (differential) in your front diff, and open diff in your back diff, and an open diff in your center diff. That means all of your diffs are open when you're on jack stands and when power goes to the wheels it will go to the one of least resistance. If you did this with an 02 or an 03, you would get the back wheels to spin, but not on an 04+ because of the open center diff. I know it seems really weird, but if you put your foot on the brakes, you would probably get all four wheels to spin and then you can diagnose your problem better. I would say you have either worn out suspension bushings on your front driver side or you have a bad wheel bearing on that wheel. Hopefully that helps, and welcome the the forums.
