My buddy got towed several miles in his evo with two wheels touching th ground. His car was making some funny noises when he was turning. Today while at a red light, he head a loud noise, and now the car will not go above 20.

Wish I could elaborate more, but this is all he told me.

What is the problem?

 

His transfer case is toast,the tow truck driver should have known better not to tow an all wheel drive car with two wheels on the ground.Go back to the tow company and make them pay to fix it.Evo's should only be towed with a flatbed truck.

 

I've always known that AWD cars need to be towed by a flatbed and the manual says that as well. As far as your friend's evo, the drivetrain is most likely messed up. He might want to consult with the dealership or a tuning shop to get this fixed. Not too sure, but the insurance company should be able to help out.

 

ohhhh boyyyy. go right after the towing company now

 

Did your friend not know that his car couldn't be towed that way? Something has to have been severely damaged in that drive train. Tell your friend good luck.

 

Yeah, I would get it to a shop and have them check the diffs.

 

He was there while it got towed?!!!!!!!!! extream fail if soo and if he was shame on him and tow truck driver. i hope it all gets fixed tho

 

Yes, he knew it was supposed to be towed on a flatbed, but they took it in the middle of the night. It was acting alright for a few weeks with the exception of the noise when turning. Then at the red light, it made some noise.

 

Well,if it's been a couple of weeks your friend is screwed.

 

it wont act good at all. drive shaft or t caseee is wasttteddd. oh boy i cant belive people sum times i mean just check under neath the car see if it has a tcase not that hard to tell. feel bad! go right after the towin company for sure! gl

 

What does it do when you reach 20mph? Does it feel like it just revs without going?

 

This just happened to another member a few weeks ago. I believe his transfer case & front diff were destroyed.

 

Yeah I was thinking of that thread too.

Not taking action immediately after the car was towed will likely prove to be a very costly error. No one likes giving good people bad news, but this is most unfortunate.

 

hahaha... you got to be joking.. You answered the question and you still asked what the problem could be.
