Default moving a car with no tq arm?

ne of my buddies just took the tq arm off of his 00 Z and he has to push his car out of the garage for the day, how dangerous is it to move a car, not under its own power, maybe 20 feet backward then 20 feet forward again tomorrow?

It'll be fine, just do it gently. It will make it harder to put the torque arm back in bc the rear end is gonna shift around a bit.

I do not know, if I were moving it I would put a floor jack under the pumpkin and roll it around. Johnny

It's fine. Just don't roll it fast and then brake hard.
