There was a loud ping/pop when it disconnected. Hoping secondary effects are limited to the wear you described. Thx.
Just curious - if the front drive shaft and transfer fluids are gone, any impact on the rest of the drivetrain/system if for some reason the car was driven for an extended period, say an hour or more?
