Panick time, need help fast!
Panick time, need help fast! I need some advice. I have all of the suspension and rear moser 9" axle housing installed on my car (68 camaro). I am moving next week and the 9" center section I ordered a month ago has not arrived yet (never believe 3-7 business days) and now I can't get in contact with the shop I ordered it from to get a tracking number. Tried the last 4 days...
Is there a way to install the axles to roll the car without the center section and messing anything up? The axles are 35 spline with willwood brakes. I just need to roll it about a hundred feet and get it loaded on my trailer. I don't want to risk damaging the housing or any of the suspension components by being stupid about this but I didn't know if it was possible just to put some tubing in the center just slightly larger ID than the axle shafts OD to provide a little support...
Thanks again for any ideas!

Buy some of these http://www.northerntool.com/shop/too...+wheel-dollies
I got a set dirt cheap from harbour freight a little while back, be careful putting the car down on the dollys so you don't damage anything and just wheel it around

I've had dolly's flip up (uneven surfaces) and damage the car, which recently happened to my tube chassis Vega. You might get by with putting a floor jack under the rear and rolling it out that way. have someone hang onto the handle of the floor jack. To your initial question, I wouldn't put the axles and bearing into the housing and risk it. I take it you didn't order a Moser center section, as they ship out just two days after the order is received, unless the shop you ordered it through is screwing you. Bob

I agree about the Dolly's. I don't trust them for moving a car around unless it is a flat surface and on tires. The center section was a strange strac and yea, the shops supplier was screwing us over. I think possibly the best suggestion I got so far was to use some tubing just slightly larger than the axles to connect the two axles with them installed. I tried it last night and it seems fine to roll an empty shell of a car around without damaging anything. Unless anybody thinks this unwise? I have not lowered any weight into the wheels yet.
