Default center diff. question

my right front axle gave out on me today. the car was driven about a mile afterwards, at around 10mph. I need to know if this would mess up my center differential. as the car sits with a broken axle, if you try to drive the car its like the clutch is slipping and it's not wanting to move. thank you.

Oh my god, you fucked up so much shit now....never drive an awd with 3 axles, thats worse than different sized rims. No, you shouldnt have harmed anything for that short of a period, its slipping because thats what it does, if it was welded youd be rear wheel drive, yeehaaa.

i think he means thats what it is going to do cause thats the axle that has no pressure on it. the easiest one that spins will spin. in your case the broken axle, is the easiest side to spin.

hanging with the suby wasn't a problem until after the axis donuts

yea yea yea whatever chris said that the axis spins (as some of the sophisticated people call it) are what could have ripped the cv boot therefore fucking your axle in the ass
