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 like the PVC solution for short term, Chris' for longer.
My swayAway axles still have the pretty powder coat on them and I don't want to scratch them up. Edit: damn just checked, my 108mm cv's are 4-1/4" so I'd need 6" PVC. |

Edit: damn just checked, my 108mm cv's are 4-1/4" so I'd need 6" PVC. The flanges on my tool have 3 sets of holes to accommodate the various CVs we use. A 4.5" od steel tube would do the trick for your big CVs. A couple of split rings made of wood to insert in the ends would keep the tube away from the axle shafts. |
