I used to have an 'experienced' person tell me that to fix a problem one end you look to the other end. When I stopped listening to him and started fixing the problem at the end that had it I went a lot faster.
this is the point,balance is one thing ,but you donĀ“t know if the bad axle is working under its capabilities or over ,so if you balance the car by shedding grip from the otheraxle.,you will never know.

as for the three wheeling mentioned elsewhere it goes the same ;if a wheel does not have groundcontact it cannot bare any loads,wich is a bad thing as your axle is limited to the load carrying capacity of one wheel during that time.this inevitably will lead to this axle lacking grip compared to the other,plus you have 2 points during cornering when this changes to/from 4 wheel cornering .....and suddenly the gripcapability of this axle changes ...(halves!).
