>>>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.
