I broke both front axles in my Dana 30. Waiting for the new axles to arrive. My question is, can I run my jeep without axles until they get here? It might be a stupid question but it my daily driver.

What part of the shafts broke? The inner or outer? If its the inner you can pull them out and clean out the broken parts, remove the outer and put it back together, remove the drive shaft, should be fine. If you broke an outer shaft your up a creek if the u joint yoke is gone, if its gone the wheel won't stay on.


If you don't push the limits how do you find them??

The wheel is attached to the unit bearing and the outer stub shaft is NOT needed. You will be fine driving around without any shaft at all. Unlike the TJ's before, the bearings will not fall out due to the way the unit bearings are made.
