I have seen this at shop but do not remember how it was done. Have engine /trans removed for some chassis reinforcement work and will be moving car around...
What is best way to suspend axles so they are not "flopping" around.... ( I do not want to remove ---too lazy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ) TIA |

I used to use a cardboard tube, just large enough in dia for the cvs to fit inside. It doesn't have to extend all the way to both trailing arms as shown with the PVC pipe. Whatever is the longest single piece that can be installed without challenge will do just fine. While expensive in comparison, my axle tool beats all the other techniques hands down. I only invented it because I've tried all the other methods mentioned, and got tired of the shortcomings. |
