Default Newbie question - OK to move a car around without the torque tube attached?
So engine and torque tube out, but rear suspension and automatic transmission attached, OK to roll her around? It looks like that would be OK but wanted to double check before dove into touching that part of the car.

This relates to the S4 donor car that I am harvesting things I need from.

Thanks!

Pfft. With no motor, that thing should push easy.

And yes, it's fine to do.

Never hurts to ask when you aren't sure.

Thanks Joe, figured better to ask than have anything collapse.
