Default Trailering Advice

I bought a car trailer for going to non-local AX and DE's...(Sure don't want something to break 100+ miles from home!)

Securing the shark to the trailer is pretty straight forward on the front...anybody have anys suggestions for tie-down points on the rear of the car??

TIA

Feed the straps through the wheels or wrap them around the lower A arms. Or both.

Going to the body leave the opportunity for the straps to loosen when the car moves around.

Glen makes an excellent point ....you should tie the car down by the wheels or suspension arms not by attaching to the frame/chassis . The weight / mass of the car bouncing on the springs as you go over bumps can put a huge load on the tiedowns . I know of one race car which broke the straps and rolled off the trailer as it was going up hill ! You can easily attach some hold down brackets loops to the large rear suspension pivot bolt (the one through the shock)
