Abstract
A support for the drive components of a front wheel drive vehicle includes a frame adapted to be mounted on a jack, a pair of saddle beams mounted on the frame and being adjustable vertically and horizontally relative thereto for supporting the vehicle engine and transmission. An arm is pivotally mounted at each end of the frame and includes a vertically extending portion which is adapted to be secured to the front wheel hubs for holding the transaxles and wheel struts in position as the engine, transmission, drive axles and struts are removed simultaneously from the vehicle.
