Hi,
I'm new here, so hope I don't ball it all up!
I have a 2002 SS and was wondering if anyone has information on trailering the car?
I have a 16' flat-bed auto hauler I used to trailer my Corvette on. It had built in hooks for the straps, but I don't see any thing like that on the under carrage of the Camaro.
Any One Have Any Ideas?

Thanks in advance
Gus

 

Could you strap it down at the axles? I was thinking of buying a trailer for my 35th anniversary edition so I'd be interested in knowing also..........

ps.....Nice looking SS!

 

The way I trailer a car is use axle straps at all four corners, tow on the rear axle and one on each lower control arm.

Ah my friends but there are tow hooks on F-Body's ....They are in the front on the bottom of the firewall, two loops that they use from the factory to tie the cars down with, its on the body...They are sturdy...So then in the back just go around the rear axle tubes...

 

CobraKilla, I know there's tie down ares on a f-body but I prefer my way, to use the tie down areas on the car you will need to really torque the suspension down. If you don't tie down the car really tight the suspension will move up and down, if the suspension moves it will un-load the straps which will become hard on the straps as well as the car. When a car is shipped from the factory they tighten it down so there is no movement, I find that kinda of hard on these un-bodies. If you use axle straps on the rear axle and lower control arms it will allow the suspension to move but it will keep the tires planted to the trailers floor. Again my 2 cents worth.

 

Strapping to the lower control arm? Does this cause any harm to the control arm? The rear axle is no problem, but the front worries me. I've hit some pretty big pot holes trailering my Corvette and seems like lots of stress for the front end components.
Good info though. I'll also look for the factory hooks by the fire wall.
Thanks

I understand what you are saying, but I use 4 straps in the locations I mentioned and the straps go the opposite way of the one its next to so the car cant go forward or back. As far as travel up and down, I can see your point but it is one of the strongest parts of the car where those tie-downs are at on the car. Plus I got some big azz ractcheting straps so, yea its just personal preference...
