What's the danger of driving with a goosed axle? Apart from wheels rubbing on the arch causing a blow out.
Can the axle fall apart while driving... Or wheel come off?
-im waiting for payday for an olite axle, and have swapped the wheel over where it's rubbing with the spare wheel which has sorted the rubbing problem out. Need the car to get to and from work... But not if it's going to fall apart or cause a bad accident.

As mentioned the handling will be shit, the back on mine was wandering around fastish corners, felt like the car was floating in a way

I'd be weary of spontaneous combustion also.
