wud up 'lil gangsters. Okay so i'm going to pick up a car with front right corner damage. the tire is all jacked so i can't really push it. My question is, if i get a tow dolly, one of the ones where you put the front or rear end on, is it safe to pull it on its rear end? or does it need to be towed with the front end down? thx

you can put the car backwards on the tow dolly make sure the steering is locked down good I recommend strap and it down not used in the lock in the steering wheel. Because you're going backwards you'll have a little little bit of tow outer which will make it be a little bit nervous so I would tend to take it can be easy if you're towed vehicles fairly large and weighs a lot you won't notice it but if it's medium-sized it could be a little bit twitchy

I don't get it.. The front right wheel doesnt spin and you want to put that on the pavement?

Most of the time you put the front wheels on the tow dolly

Put the front wheels on the tow dolly and remove the driveshaft.

Do NOT do this unless you are only going a few miles. The system is a splash system and you will cause damage by not removing the driveshaft.
