Re: question on towing, dont know where else to post it
big suspension pieces you can hook to, or wrap around.
front: control arms
rear: axle, or anything around
dont hook to the radiator support, sway bars, steering linkage, the bar behind the rear end (panhard/tracking bar), or muffler

Re: question on towing, dont know where else to post it
if going around the axle cause the chains to hang up on the exhaust and other things, if you look just ahead of where the lower control arms mount to the body, there are slots in the bottom of the mount, they are for use with recovery hooks, you can put hooks in the slots and pull from there, keeping the chains under the car and not damaging things. Now obviously if the mounts are rusted bad or rotted, dont do it. Dont go crazy pulling the car either. Dont know if its stuck or what the deal is but you dont want to tear the entire rear of the car off.

I would use a different car and just put a tire in between the bumpers but not pushing from the front of the car.

Hi
Is it safe to pull a third gen onto the back of a recovery vehicle with the winch hooked on to the rear axle?? Regards, Matthew
