The above is perfect if you have an open trailer. As I have an enclosed trailer, my tie down points are several feet forward and backward so you real pull \hard at an angle on the wheels without changing anything.

I have been towing my car for two years using the factory shipping tie down location. They are in fact the jack points in front of the rear wheels and behind the front wheels. Hook inside the hole with the nylon straps cross braced and you are good to go. Car in neutral of course.

You'll love the Autometrics tie downs. I have used them on our big 6 car hauler, my old 24' enclosed & my open. This is the third car I have had them on & nothing could be easier.

The Autometrics pieces are great. I have used them in my cars, and customer's cars for years. I like a little pull down on the suspension when riding in or on a trailer. That way it is not so jittery (bouncing). Also, pulling on the wheels / suspension members can bend things or throw them out of alignment. And these cars have enough trouble staying in alignment.....
