Fact or Fiction--Trailer tie downs
I have 15 years under my belt as an auto transporter and muddog covers it , but doesn't go into why.
The factories all use wheel ties , many requiring them.
Because there isn't enough frame to tie to anymore.
Guys have damaged cars by using hydraulics to tighten the chains and I had a T hook tear through a Chevrolet pick up frame when I used a non approved tie down hole.
Chains and R hooks or T hooks are going the way of the brontosaurus , but for my money , there is no better way to tie down a vehicle.
An " A " pull with the chains pulling outward on the bottom of the chain makes for less rocking than a basket or "V" pull.
I prefer not to let the suspension work on my race car when it is in transit , but I don't think you will do significant damage or premature shock wear by using wheel ties
