Hi , if you mean the really slow moving rollers they use to test the brakes, my one has been on one with no problems, in 2wd.

bit of a bummer!

those rollers are for testing the brakes and the tester would have to press hard on the brake pedal, which is probarbly when the pipe burst.

i'd say your very lucky that it went there and not on the road.

also the tester would probarbly have been scraping at the pipes looking for corrosion. that would have helped it along.

I wouldn't have thought it would have done the diff lockers much good though. did you tell the examiner about them?
