Is it safe to drive an all wheel drive suv without the drive shaft?

Why do councils in England continue to invest in speed humps?

It depends on the design. The problem is usually mechanical and not safety: Some all wheel drive SUVs will damage the transfer case (a very expensive repair) if you drive them this way. Others don't have this problem. If you can shift yours into two wheel drive, it's probably OK. But I would recommend getting a replacement driveshaft as soon as possible.

Is it illegal in Texas to have a dvd monitor in the front of an automobile to where the driver can watch?

Depends on why the drive shaft is out. If it's a u-joint bad on it, then yes, it is OK to drive it, but not too long. If something is wrong with the rear and having the shaft out will still cause it damage, don't drive it, get it fixed.

What the hell is so important that people need to talk on their cell phones about while they're driving?

yeah but only for a short amount of time. ONLY!

Why do so many people take things so personal when someone goes ahead of them in the freeway?

what shaft is missing? doesn't really matter... either way is going to put alot of strain on the differential making up for the loss... call a tow truck lose the yuppie ride an' get a real 4X4

Why do people moan about speed cameras - if they were concentrating when driving they'd notice a yellow box

My son has a Ford Tempo all wheel drive that the rear U joint went out on it 3 years ago. We removed the rear drive shaft back then, and he's still driving it with only front wheel drive just fine.

You failed to mention what you drive. At all depends.

Has anyone ever been in a bad car accident?

YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN USING THE HANDBRAKE ANYWAY.

Was she right?


If you're worried about the brakes, don't. They are in no way connected to the drive shaft, they operate individually on each wheel.

If you are in a car and a live wire falls across it should you stay in the car or get out?


The hand brake only operates on the rear wheels, so the front wheels will move as the weight settles, this is normal.

You may not park your vehicle and leave it unattended within how many feet of a fire hydrant?


If you normally only leave it in park (for an automatic) then you are an idiot. It is an extra way of holding the car should the handbrake fail, it is an emergency failsafe. It should not be used as the only way of holding the car.

I want to know if i can change my sterring wheel if it has an airbag?


Now there is no forward driveshaft, all of the weight of the car is on the differential lock, making not using the handbrake a doubly stupid idea.
