Through comparison o f models of the interaction and 6d halo star data\, we determined that the LMC is currently both pulling the MW stellar disc away from the barycentr e of the MW at 30 km/s\, as well as inducing a measurable distortion in th e outer halos of both the MW and LMC. These effects emphasise the need to move away from equilibrium models when attempting to measure the mass dist ributions of either. Models for the M33-M31 interaction -- a similar mass ratio -- reveal a markedly different interaction\, with significantly smal ler effects owing to the orbital history.\n\nhttps://iaus379.aip.de/event/ 20/contributions/209/ LOCATION:Haus H\, Telegrafenberg URL:https://iaus379.aip.de/event/20/contributions/209/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
