1G Possibly drivetrain damage?

[s4b0t4g3r]

Hey guys,

When I was picking up my AWD project. I kept telling the stupid towing guy to not let the wheels drag on the ground, and use dolleys. When I turn away to deal with some of the sale stuff, he is moving the car with rear wheels in the air, and fronts on ground....I get pissed and tell him to stop. He didn't move it too far, but I just wanted to know if I should worry about the drivetrain, and if it was damaged. Don't know if it matters, but the car was in neutral.

Should I worry about it being fubarred now? Moved from 1-3 feet maybe


PS: He also decided to forget that the towing lights were still on my car and were wrapped around my rear wiper. And then proceed to gun it... Ripped the cable out of the truck..... At least the wiper won the tug-o-war.

I could go on about how many things this guy screwed up, but I'll save you the pain.

If the car was in neutral then i cant see there being a problem. Think about it, if u were on a hill, in neutral the car will naturally want to roll. You're fine.

But on a hill, the front wheels wouldn't spin independently while the rears were locked and unable to move........ they'd all be rolling down the hill at the same time

The rear wheels were in the air and locked in place as the fronts were moving.

Should be ok as long as it wasnt too far.. The VC allows for some slippage between fronts and rears..

This may be a dumb question but, how far would constitute "too far" ?
