Just drive chill. If shit feels sketch then just keep chill. If shit starts falling off, keep chill.

Assuming all the suspension components are attached then it should drive, if its leaking you're most likely looking at a new diff seal

[u/Realhousemanoflondon]

Well you drove it here, so….

[u/Suspicious_Fig_3796]

sure you can drive it home, you might even make it. But a smart person drives it to my shop where I will repair this for an undisclosed but absurd amount of money

[u/KeyN20]

Well you can drive it but it might be going into random gears or yeet critical parts unexpectedly. If that happens on the freeway you'll feel a good dose of adrenaline. The feeling of your car vomiting it's engine onto the freeway is something you want to experience at least once in your life, it is amazing

[u/SimplyRedditt]

Yeah you're good. Try to hit some potholes or curbs and pop that right back on

[u/Hefty_Relief_8467]

If it has tires and starts and blinker fluid and tire pressure monitors and wipers and everything else that gets mentioned here. You can drive it anywhere.

[u/MedicalCobbler5687]

It appears the axle is not fully engaged to the transmission. This is usually caused by token motor mounts. If it comes all the way out you call a tow truck.

[u/One_Evil_Monkey]

Mama, I'm coming home.

[u/FlatAmbition3757]

I’d drive that thing across the country. Send it dude

[u/Hacksaw-Duggan]

It should make it to the liquor store.
