not sure but a local copper told me that it would be as long as it was NOT the driven wheels

BUT I DONT KNOW FOR SURE

It's being recovered to a garage for repair isn't it ?

And I've lost count of how many cars in various states of breakage (all un-T&T) I've
A-Framed to be weighed in. No problems yet !

Have you still got my number ?

I doubt it very much; otherwise why should 4x4 vehcicles be treated in a different way?
