RE: [Chrysler300] Trailer and crossstraps

["Richard Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

I have not found convenient places to loop the axle straps for crossed configuration on the rear axle, so only cross the front straps which I hook to the lower A-frame on our 1955 C-300.

I have noted that some slack in the binder straps appears after a short distance of jouncing slightly shifts the axle straps and the vehicle.  Periodic retensioning of the binder straps seems to always be necessary and appropriate.

Thanks for the input on this subject, but we are probably boring some of the readers.  Onward!

When I had my enclosed trailer, I crossed the front & rear. Never moved an inch.

Thanks for sharing that experience, Mike. Those trailer wheel wells can get
close and generate a bad rash.

I'll try to rig some additional right-angle ties at the rear of our trailer
as our CA highways are lumpy and likely to get lumpier. I think the crossed
lashup at the front precludes sideways movement there but I do use a
parallel lashup to the axle at the rear.

Do you use a dolly type of lashup with a network of straps over each wheel
to make the connection to the car? Bolted wood blocks might be an easier
way to limit sideways motion at the back.

Ihad a learning experience that ended up at the body shop. I have 
etrack front and use Axel straps in a cross tie on frame. Ithen used 
straight rear Axel straps parallel to the rear. On a long haul after a 
100 mi istopped to inspect and thecar shifted sideways into the 
wheel well ; next stop body shop

I installed rear d rings at about rear bumper on each side so in 
addition to straight parallel
There are two 90 degree at front and. Rear. Now stable even on 
washboard interstates
