Is it possible? I want to order a new rear axle but not a 3rd member yet. Is there a way to roll the car around without having a 3rd member in it?

Bolt the axles back in place and roll away .You may want to cover up the opening to keep dirt out .

With the ends of the axleshafts not in the carrier will the tires stay straight? The only thing holding the wheels is the bearing on the axle tube end, is that enough?

That is all that holds in in when you are driving . They just slip into the third member . they won/t stay exactly straight but good enough to roll it around .
