I wonder what sort of havoc can result from a grenaded diff. I would hope that the axle flanges would keep them from flying out. I worry about outer body damage from that sort of thing because shiny paint can make a man paranoid.



The axles are retained by the bearings so the only way the wheel is going to come off is if you break lugs , break the axle outside of the flange or if the end of the housing breaks off. If you have an auto trans you can potentially damage the rear sprag if you are in low and the rear band is not applied .
