Weight of rear of Ruby
#1
Hi
I am needing to work on the rear hub of my Ruby but I wanted to keep it slightly mobile in the garage so I can move it out a little to access behind it occasionally.
I have some heavy duty castors in a frame that will support the front axle .
I also have some lighter “Clarke” castors that are rated at 72kg each that I can make a frame to support the rear/ rear axle.
The question is how heavy is the rear of a Ruby.The kerb weight is down as 616kg and I would think about 2/3rd of the weight is at the front so a “ guesstimate” rear weight of about 210kg and the castors would support 288kg, so should be ok.

Any advice?

( by the way the supports would be backed up with axle stands except when I actually move the car)

Ian
