Default Drive w/o a-frame attached?
My fulcrum bushing is disconnected as I am struggling w/ a bushing mount bolt and one of the fulcrum bolts. Need to go grab an impact wrench. Is it ok to drive (on-road of course)? or not a good idea?

Thanks!

The highlighted piece? Nope, wouldn't drive it. Rear axle would drift L-R and rotate.

Thanks, @hrhoward just needed an opinion. Wasn't sure how much things could potentially move. I'll bolt it back up until I can get everything loosened.

Your best bet may be to get an old dumb trainer for cheap and use that frame (cyclops magneto, or something like that). Seems like building your own could be quite a bit of faffing 192.168.100.1 192.168.1.1 about.
