So I was getting my alignment done when the tech took me into the shop to show me that my front differential bushing was pretty much in half.

I realize the only way to replace this is by dropping the front end (which I needed to do anyways to replace the gasket on the differential).

While money and time is a little tight I have to wait before I can do this. I was hoping you guys might be able to help me with a few things.

1. How dangerous is it to drive with the bushing being bad?
2. Any guide on dropping the differential?
3. Any other info I may need to know prior to doing the work?

Thanks guys!
