I have developed a vibration in the front drive shaft. I am planning on replacing it but can I drive without a front drive shaft until it come in? Any help would be appreciated.

 

No problems what so ever!!!

 

Yes you can, People tow like this ALL the time.

 

So it's okay to take the front drive shaft out and still drive around? Sounds like a n00b question but I just want to double check.

 

yes.............

 

No problems,have a friend who drove to Utah without driveshaft

 

I only put my driveshaft on when I'm going to the off road park. Gets a little better gas mileage it seems like also.
I run a tatton and its easy to put in on and remove.

 

I was about to say, you might actually get better mileage. I know someone who changed his axle shafts to a locking hub system and swears it saved him a mpg or two on the highway... obviously removing the front ds won't stop the axle shafts from rotating but it will be half the savings a locking hub system would provide.

 

I usually take my drive shaft off for the summer just because the only four wheeling we have here is snow so I figure as simple as it is to remove I may as well save a little wear on it!!

 

I know this is a dead thread. But why can we drive without front driveshaft but not dolly tow with front wheels up? What's the difference mechanically? Thanks
