That's just asking for trouble if you ask me!! You would end up with the front diff wrapped around the wrong way under high speed-heavy braking.

It's a common landrover trick too.

It will accelerate wear on the remaining bushing, an increase load on the mount for the side that still has a bolt in. This could be an issue as coilers are already renowned for breaking mounts.

I think i'd try it offroad, but be aware of the possible consequences. Wouldn't recommend it on road due to high braking loads etc.
