The wheel with the good drive shaft will not move the car. The differential in the trans-axle will always send power to the axle (wheel) with the least resistance. There for the side with the broken shaft will be the axle that turns.
no unless it is a 4 wheel drive and you are in 4 hi or lo. I still wouldn't do it
No, the end of the cv shaft is what holds the wheel bearing together.No, the end of the cv shaft is what holds the wheel bearing together.
no .. Having a seized drive shaft would be like just having the brake on .. will still go in gear .. just wont move ..
If four wheel drive, yes. If all wheel drive, no. The 4wd system will have 2hi, 4hi, and 4 lo on the shifter.
Look under the vehicle. If there is a drive shaft going from the front half of the vehicle to the back half of the vehicle then it is AWD. If no drive shaft then it is FWD. If you're still not sure after looking at it take it to a shop, they will tell you for free.
Yes, the shaft is still connected to the front tires through the front differential, so it will turn while driving.
Neutral disconnects the rotating engine from the drive shaft, useful when the car is standing still.
1: disconnect the drive shaft from the rear axle. 2: disconnect the front shaft from the transmission (tedious and you need the correct size tool). 3: disassemble the front shaft from the main shaft by pulling them apart from the center or in front of the support and drop the main shaft. 5: remove bolts holding the support and drop and remove the front shaft shaft with the support still connected. 6: remove and replace the support with a wheel puller. 7: replace support with new part. 8: reassemble in reverse.

The car has only one transaxle, AKA transmission, then no, you cannot remove the tranny without removing the tranny. If you mean without removing CV Axle or drive axle or Axle shaft or CV shaft (same thing) then the answer is still no. You cannot remove the transaxle without removing the drive axle/CV shaft.
First block the wheels to keep the truck from rolling. It does not matter if it is in park It will still roll when the drive shaft is out. GOT IT. SAFTY FIRST. Now craw under the truck and you will see where the drive shaft hooks to the rear end. There is 4 bolts, 2 on each side, remove them and take big screew driver and pry the drive shaft out of the yoke. Then pull it out of the transmission. You will loose some trans fluid.
Once the drive shaft still spins in the transmission while being towed- its not good for the transmission to pull it too long. If the front of the truck is up- u can take out the drive-shaft to the rear wheels, only four 7/16 bolts to take out.
Had similar problem. Took it back twice to same mechanic still vibrating. Took it to another mechanic and he found that the old uni joints were still in place. The first mechanic from salisbury adelaide, welded washers in where circlips were meant to be. All had washers welded. New mechanic replaced tailshaft with seconhandy and did job properly, It is better than new now.
