Abstract
A universal axle and differential carrier stand comprising a base provided with a pair of upright support arms secured to the base at their lower end, and being horizontally adjustable for providing a variable spacing between the pair of support arms. A pair of axle clamps for receiving and positively engaging the vehicle axle or a pair of differential carrier mounts for mounting the differential carrier are alternatively and interchangeably affixed to upper ends of the support arm. Furthermore, the axle clamps and the differential carrier mounts may be adjustable in height. The stand may be quickly and easily loaded and unloaded, because no tools are required to operate axle clamps. The base is provided with caster wheels that allow easy movement of the universal stand with or without vehicle components.
