Will forgetting to unlock one side on manual hubs damage anything if driving in 2wd?

Its pretty much just like having Auto Diff Disconnect. The diff side gears will turn and the unlocked side CV shaft will turn in the opposite direction of the locked side. The front ring and pinion may turn a very small ammount or none at all, as will the front driveshaft.

You may have some vibration but it will not hurt anything permanently.
