But only if you have freewheeling hubs - and they are unlocked.
Have you got fwh?

Eh? It's RWD with or without FWH. All they do is stop the half shafts turning the diff and prop shaft, which reduces a bit of drag. Unless the yellow knob is pressed in High range (or the box is in low), the front axle is not driven.

It's front wheel drive in 4wd if you've just broken a rear halfshaft. How many of us have had to do that?

If it has Freewheel Hubs the bit of the hub that pokes through the wheel centre will be a lot bigger on the front than the rear, if you int got them they'll be the same size
