Lots of good points bought up here. One more thing to consider though. Every spring I get a few dozen cars delivered from their winter homes in Florida to the dealership I work at in N.J. On several occasions I've seen cars arrive with rear suspension damage. A few had bent links, a few had broken links. The damage occurred at the points where the vehicle was tied down. They all made the trip at the rear of the hauler. I started calling it the "diving board" effect. When the hauler had a few good bounces, the rear probably went up and down a few feet. The haulers that use chain wrapped around the rear links are the ones most likely to cause damage. Either find a hauler that doesn't use chain, or request that the vehicle ride up front.
