I've broken the motor mount out of the side the engine block on my Jeep before. Drove it that way for FAR too long before fixing it...

New inner CV housing on order. I am still driving to Seattle. They said the drive would be fine and I wouldn't do any more damage as long as I'm not ripping around. Parts will hopefully be in early next week.

As long as you're not hard on it, it's amazing how long a joint like that will last before hurting any other component or completely falling apart.

Glad you're still making the drive.

I'll pick up doughnuts and meet ya at mom's place...
