I’ve been watching repo shorts on Youtube where the driver goes in fast while lowering his tow gear. Its a T where the back arms open up once it’s in position to lift one axel.  
[Just look at this to see](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Z1l1qs9igOU).  
So my question is, how would this not break a AWD or 4WD vehicle?  
Or would it and this is only done on cars with one drive axel?
