I was tired of the axle shafts hanging down on a car with the engine removed a long time ago.
I've used bungees, coat hangers, tie downs, etc. to hold them up out of the way while crawling about under the car. Its even worse when you have to move the car and the halfshafts bang around, sometimes jamming a CV joint. Some time ago I came up with the idea of using a 2 ft. piece of cardboard tube over the inner CVs to keep them together but the tube rolls off to one side quickly and one axle falls out. Its only a minor irritation but with the number of cars we have at the shop which are engine-less, often needing to be pushed around from one area to another, I wanted a better solution. So here it is: The bracket bolts to the rear trans mounts, and the flange/tube assembly acts like an open diff. The flanges will have bolt holes for 3 different CV sizes often used on 914s. |
