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 |

A piece of pvc pipe, just big enough to go over the CVs, cut to the maximum so you slide it on one axle just clearing the other side and then center it on both axles. While I agree with Dave if moving it a (very) short distance wont be to bad I tend to be cautious here because replacing those bearing is a PITA Keven's recommendation is a good one. Like $8 at your favorite HM improvement warehouse you can PU a 6" (?) PVC pipe section (like 8') that you measure & cut each end off of. They slide perfectly into the openings in each Trailing arm with the flared end in the middle that mates. I personally used this method in a pinch transporting a car from OR to WA. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) The plastic was spent by the time I arrived but it worked, & bearings were just fine. |
