HoSS Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I've not had to do this in the 110 yet, but was wondering to myself.... If one was to bust a halfshaft, I presume it's ok to chuck the centre difflock in and limp home? How far / fast would be ok? I had to do this in my old SIII on at least 2 occasions. Cheers, Hoss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Hoss In theory yes, but.... If I were you, I'd remove the prop shaft and the busted bit of the half shaft if possible (X eng shaft remover thingy tool??). If I did that then I'd be happy to drive around with it in diff lock for a few days. Rear wheel drive can be interesting!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Depends how clean the break is and where it is, potentially it could cause a bit of damage if the shaft flops about or bits of metal get into the diff. I would say it's OK to drive home in a christian manor, pull the half shaft and then go and do some powerslides If you break a rear one they're easier to remove as you can pull the diff pan off and have a poke about.
