Trailering the Evo
Hey, for you guys that have trailered your Evos, where are you using straps? I just trailered my Evo and I first had it strapped through the wheels. That worked okay but the car still wanted to move around a bit and I wasn't crazy about the tension placed on the tie rods. I moved the straps to looping around the front control arms near the pick up points on the frame. That worked much better but I didn't want to do the same on the rear since the rear control arm is not meant for that kind of stress. Ideas?

Well, the front tow hook is pretty strong but I can see the rear hook ripping right out. Besides, I prefer to leave the car "sprung" on it's own suspension rather than trying to hold it down tight with the two hooks. By using the tow hooks the straps go slack to a certain extent every time the suspension compresses.
