Ball Joint question......

Put a new lower ball joint in my 98 nissan 200sx. Its my DD for work. Broke my snap ring pliers trying to put the snap ring on the new one. Had to get it put back together with out the snap ring on it. It was in the drive way blocking my wifes car. Think its ok to drive for a bit until I get the snap ring put on it? I dont think I will have time to get to it before I go to work Sunday night. So I'm looking at driving it for a few hundred miles before it gets fixed. A buddy of mine that has been a mech longer than I have been alive said it should be fine for a bit, but it does need that ring on there. Im guessing as long as I dont rock any pot holes I will prolly be ok.......what are your guys thoughts???

I wouldn't either.

I don't own snap ring pliers. I use vice grips and screw drivers when I have to wrestle with a snap ring.
