    One Axel Driving?

    Would it be a good idea to drive a car with one axel up a trailer? I should mention that it doesn't have an LSD.

    I wouldn't expect it to move much, if at all.

        I think he is talking about using a car dolly to tow a car. I.E. - The front axle up on the trailer with the rear on the ground rolling.

        That being said, you should be fine for a short trip. I wouldn't use it for more then 50 miles though. Get a car trailer if you need to tow it further.

          Actually I was wondering if I could drive it up on the trailer. I am now under the impression that I cannot. Lucky for me I have a come along.

            Nah you can't. The flange without the axle will be moving. UNLESS you jimmy rig it not to move...

              Buy/rent friends to push it on a trailer. Your car will be much happier.
