so i let my father-in-law use my car today to go visit someone in the hospital in boston. he parked at a coin meter and it ran out of time. Long story short the car got towwed and i dont know on what kind of truck.-flat bed truck, or a reg. truck that lifts one end up. in anycase what-if it did get towed with a reg. truck? is this gonna mess up my transfer cases or am i alright. ur not supposed to tow some trucks unless it on a flatbed, so im just a little worried as with this. any input would be appreciated!

 

a regular tow trock will completely **** up your differentials.

 

+1, hoped they used a dolly!

 

say goodbye to your center diff...

 

i would be scared ****less if that were my evo and i see this post i dont kno why im laughing..

 

if they tow it wrong cant you sue them to fix it for towing it wrong?

 

^ i think so too. they are suppose to tow your car not damage it. they should pay for the damage

 

That what I was thinking. If they did mess it up they should have it fixed. You just might be without your EVO for a while. Keep us posted.

 

Most towing companies use flatbeds these days anyways. Chances are they towed it with one. At least, we can hope they did.

 

Yeah it has to be a flat bed. I hope the tow truck driver wasn't an idiot. Good luck.

 

if the towing company tried to tow your evo, the driver will know quickly theres something wrong, as your evo will skip on the tarmac as your diffs disintegrate... but your right most towing companies just use flatbeds these days considering how many 4wd cars are out there now.

 

i know someone who had a subie that got towed by a regular tow truck. long story short, the towing company paid for damages.

 

well he picked up the car and is driving back to the hospital and apparently its fine. ill find out tomorrow i guess if it was on a flatbed or not, because if not, god loves me and my evo!!!

 

how would you know if your diff is messed up?

 

so he drove it home from boston, about a 70-80 mile drive home, and nothing is broken. should i be worried, because if something was wrong wouldnt it have been broken. i cant go to sleep with all this overhanging my head!
