[Spit] Rolling an empty Spit chassis around

Similar to a dumb question: If I sell the diff and rear axles from a spare bare chassis ('78-79), will I still be able to roll the chassis around, or will the rear wheels fall off? I imagine I'd have to tie the center of the transverse leafs to the chassis to keep some ride height . . . . M D

The rear wheels will fall off. The rear wheels are held rigidly to the driveshaft, and are perpendicular to it. If you remove the diff, the inner ends of the driveshafts are free to flop around wherever they want to, thus allowing the wheels to adopt serious camber, and point left/right/wherever

Re: [Spit] Rolling an empty Spit chassis around

Since the axles are the lower contril arm in the swing axle suspension, disconnecting them from the diff will cause the things to be only connected by the upper control element (which is in this case the spring). If you don't have the diff in place to secure the spring, it will allow the wheels
