I wouldn't take the chance. With that being said if you were to drive careful (no bumps, sudden acceleration, and definitely no sudden braking) you should be alright. But this will put you and others in danger as you will change your style of driving and your attention will be taken off of the road. In an absolute emergency of course you would take the chance and you may not have any troubles. But I say take the time and install the new piece for peace of mind
