Put car in ditch... had to be pulled out.. possible damage??
I stopped to look at a map this morning on the side of the road and the snow was deeper than I thought.
I had to have someone pull me out with a chain on my rear tow hook.
It didn't take a whole lot of effort to pull the car out and I was driving in reverse as I was being pulled out.
Is there any chance I might have screwed up my car doing this?

that would cuase more strain on the mount
i woulkdnt worry, i pulled a 1500 ram out of snow and i was fine, just burnt the clutch after the guy in the ram stepped on the brakes..
th eonlyw ay u would have damage is if u were jerked hard, if it was a gradual pull i wouldnt worry about it

those tow lugs are solid
i have hit the front ones three or four hits the one time was at 10mph and made a loud sound and hard feel but just scratched the lug some
really feels like hit another car
so i wouldnt worry
