I don't think you'd notice? Just some loose steering? Probably get the usual Sierra death wobbles. But even if you took the shackles off completely, you could probably still drive down the road without a problem. It's not like the diff is going to fold itself backwards under the car. ( yeah yeah i know it'd be unsafe, but just theorising ) |
