Re: Towing an 86 4kq

>>>I thought I read about damage being done when towed by a wrecker. 
OTOH, 
the guys that race their 84 4kq in Kansas say they tow their car all over

the midwest on all four behing a 5ktq.<<<

Being towed on a wrecker is bad IF dollies are not used.  The wheels on
the ground rotate; the others don't.  A MAJOR conflict in the center diff
is the result!!!

 I have heard stories of quattro center diffs locking while on the back
of the wrecker, spinning the front tires on the wheel lift pans --
interesting effect.

To answer your question, though, towing on all four shouldn't cause any
damage, since the front and rear wheels will be relatively close to the
same speed.
