Can you make an all wheel drive car rear wheel drive?

Can you convert a RWD to an AWD? The simple answer is, yes it definitely can be done with enough money, engineering skills, and the right equipment.

Can you change a RWD to 4wd?

Yes. You can strip down your 2WD and install 4WD parts and components. To do that, you need a host of parts from a 4×4, including the 4WD shifter, front driveshaft, and front axle and springs. You also need to change the transmission of the car, truck, suv.

What happens if you dont mark your drive shaft?

If they split the shaft and not re install it correctly, they will throw the shaft out of balance and cause an uncomfortable vibration. One piece shaft guys have the slip yoke in the t-case, so they dont have to worry about any of this.

Would you remove the rear driveshaft for summer?

Would not do this, besides the gains in mpg are minimal. plus not having the axles in there, the load/pressure sent to it would cause damage. Wrong again. Rear driveshaft, not drive axles. It would be okay to remove the driveshaft for the summer season, to at least reduce wear on the PTU and viscous clutch.

Can you drive with a broken rear drive axle?

Wrong again. Rear driveshaft, not drive axles. It would be okay to remove the driveshaft for the summer season, to at least reduce wear on the PTU and viscous clutch. Those only get damaged when a FRONT axle breaks and you continue driving it.

What happens if you remove the rear differential shaft?

Unless you remove PTU, viscous coupler/overrunning clutch, and rear differential, you will not see any MPG gain. If you just take the shaft out, the PTU will still be spinning and rear diff will be under the same load. Overrunning clutch will lock and be propelled by the rear wheels.

What happens if you overrun the clutch shaft?

If you just take the shaft out, the PTU will still be spinning and rear diff will be under the same load. Overrunning clutch will lock and be propelled by the rear wheels. Under this scenario you may actually suffer minor MPG loss because of overrunning clutch design.
