mudduck Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Dang, just got done replacing drive side wheel bearings, and went for a test run and broke the pass side axle. Is it ok to drive with the broke axle still in the car? If not, what do I need to do to drive the car until I can get an axle? Oh yeah, the car is a 4wd Loyale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phizinza Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 How is it broken? Just clicking? Front or rear? If its a front axle I would drive it in 4WD all the time and be careful. And also get it fixed ASAP. But you can still use the car. Or did the DOJ cup tear open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Depends on how it broke - I've had them rip free of the joint (inners and outers) and start flopping around down there. Nasty things can happen including destruction of the brake lines. If you must drive it, take the axle out, remove the outer spindle, and reinstall it without the axle shaft or inner joint. THEN drive it in 4WD. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudduck Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share Posted July 10, 2006 Broke at the outer boot. I'm trying to get the axle out so I can get the car home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
