    Safe to push a car with no CA' bushings a block?

    The control arms are in the car, and im selling it in a few days, i just need a place to put it other than my garage as my M3 is showing up tomorrow and i need a garage for it.

    Would it be safe? i think not, but maybe???

    Just tried it a few days ago with my parts car... Without control arm bushings the wheels will flop and move so far forward that they may hit the bumper upon taking off jack stands.

          You wont be able to make it, the wheels will move all the way foreward and jam against the fender/bumper/valance.whatever.

                  Go to Harbor frieght and buy some of their big ass dolly wheels they sell and make one out of a piece of 5/8 plywood.

                  Or do like Kruzen said and wire it up.

                  How far are you moving it?
