Default Will i get axle wind up?

Hi All

I went on an off road trail this weekend and forgot to put my car into 2H. It was raining and i drove home (120 miles) at 60 miles an hour in 4H? Will i get axle wind up? How do i check for damage?

Thank you!

Should be fine, especially since it was raining - the wet ground/road will allow the tires to slip a little when turning.
If it feels like it is driving normally I wouldn't worry about it.

What kind of CAR is it?

Your axles should be fine for that small commute on wet pavement!
