July 10, 200619 yr 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
July 10, 200619 yr 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?
July 10, 200619 yr 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
