Stratus Coupe L4-2.4L VIN G (2003)
Fig. 11 Front-End Lifted Towing - Typical
If a vehicle cannot be towed from the rear, the front-end raised towing method normally can be used (Fig. 11).
1. Center the sling with the bumper and position it at the frame front crossmember.
CAUTION: Use tow chains with J-hooks for connecting to the disabled vehicle's lower suspension arms. Never use T-hooks.
2. Route the J-hooks and tow chains over the steering linkage outboard of the coil spring.
3. Attach the J-hooks to the outer end of the lower suspension arms.
4. Raise the vehicle.
5. Attach the safety chains to the disabled vehicle at the frame rails.
Towing When Keys Are Not Available
When the vehicle is locked and keys are not available, use a flat bed hauler. A Wheel-lift or Sling-type device can be used provided all the wheels are
lifted off the ground using tow dollies.
