Would running a spare tire on the front of a civic (no limited slip) [freak] up the dif?... wouldn't the spare tire would be spinning faster than the normal size tire?

 

it should be fine for temporary use just dont run too fast on it

 

Don't do it unless it's a really short trip to get it fixed. It can be done, as a girl I know did, but it's a horrible idea. The handling and braking will be screwed up, the diff will work extra hard, and logically the transmission fluid will break down faster. Put a good rear tire on the front, or change your trans fluid. If nothing else, it's probably due for it anyway.

 

you can run a spare in the front, but they are only made to get you home or to a shop. Your car will pull in a certain direction more and your turning will be dirrerent. From what i have heard, you are not suppose to go faster than around 60mph
