Going to transport a top load washer and front load dryer on their
sides in my station wagon. I believe new ones have a transport bolt
that holds things in place during handling, if I transport these on
their side, I assume the bolt is going to be long gone.
Any tips for transporting them like that?

I'd check with the owners manual. I know on my Duet if you don't tighten the
drum down first you can really f%$k it up. The transporting info is in the
manual.

If there's not an instruction for it, yeah, I have a tip--don't. Even
if have to rent a trailer or make other arrangements.

Why?
If a washer or dryer are so poorly designed/constructed they can't be
transported on their side, they're junk.
