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 |

If you're removing the drivetrain, you can easily use wires (or string, or zip ties, or whatever you have handy) to suspend the axles from the transmission mounting brackets. Super easy. Cover the CV joints so dirt doesn't get in, and so you don't wind up with CV grease stains on your work clothes.
If you know you're not going to be moving the car around, it's not fatal to just let them hang, but it is better to tie them up. --DD |
