[fq-craigus]

Should have bought an EVO lol. They obviously dnt no they shouldn't towe it either, new diff I think as well as front end and what ever happened in the first place

 

[evoaps]

Does towing damage the diff?

 

[fq-craigus]

Transfer box? Maybe. I was always told you can't towe a awd

One of those classic moments when bragging about being towed at 50 mph and then it all back fires!!

PS. I need a new transfer box

You can tow an awd as long as all wheels are on the ground. Looks to me like the steering lock came on lol

As said it's years old, think one of the well known subaru mappers was involved with the car at the time.... and the crash was caused by the steering lock coming on coz the ignition wasnt turned on

Thought it was ok to tow as long as all 4 wheels were on the floor?? Does damage if the front wheels are lift and towed on the back wheels etc

horrible to watch, I have seen it before and if I remember right it was a car Andy F was mapping and was in the tow vehicle at the time.

 

[sponners]

as above, its fine to tow if all wheels are on the ground (its no different to knocking you evo into neutral and coasting down a hill)

Yeah i think it was Andy F, but didnt want to put his name incase it wasnt LOL

Ah I got it Yh that makes sense now, I just thought towing was bad. Yh they were both struggling with the steering I bet they won't make that mistake again, although it took a while to come on
