Quick question

Post by Themoog2 » Fri Apr 22, 2022 7:49 pm

And it may seem stupid so excuse me as Stella does funny things.
I need to replace the rubber driveshaft joint next to the transfer case - can I get away with lifting the car on one side? Will the driveshaft still turn when in neutral or do I have to lift the rear? Can’t think.

Hopefully someone will be along soon to answer (I have no clue!), but in the meantime I would advise not lifting the vehicle at all after several pints of Stella! :rofl:

I think the answer is yes, but only if (a) sober and (b) use a jack (and suitable stands) coz Stella doesn’t give you strength and (c) both wheels are off the ground.
:ant: Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.
