Okay, I'm having my dad come pick up my car from school(I'm away at college and it broke down...needs to be taken 2.5hrs home), and he is bringing a trailer to drive my car onto and tow home. We are going to be using chains to secure it. Where are good spots to attach chains to the mustang at...tow hooks and? Thanks.

I strapped down the Alero like that once .... I just ran the straps through the A-arms.

We also strap the Biffle race car that I travel with occasionally down in the trailer .... but I seriously doubt you'll want to do it like that, lol. (we hook the straps into the wheel spokes). Besides, you are using chains & that could get ugly.



BTW, what happened to the car?

ratchet tie straps around the rearend and for the front hook them to the rad hose J/K but I'd hook into the front control arm (A-arm)

On the rear we always hook to the axle near where the LCA connects, just be sure not to hit the brake lines that run on the axle tubes. Up front we either tie off to the A arms or the K member if its a stock one. There is a hole in the center of the K member that we hooked to. The A arms are the better place though.

Basically my tune got erased on my tweecer so my car won't run now. Well, it run but the stock setting makes it run like total crap. Instead of trying to learn how to use the tweecer I am selling it and getting a dyno tune. So...I need to tow it to the dyno because there is no way it's going to drive itself there. Okay...thanks for the ideas.
