Hello everyone. Today I had a little car trouble, and the car is stuck at a local McDonald's. Tomorrow, a friend is going to take his pickup to tow it to the mechanic shop. What part of my alero should the towing strap be tied to?

I would probably wrap it around the front of the cradle. Just make sure he is EASY on it. I doubt he would just floor it lol but you should be fine there... Ill let others stop in with there two cents. But thats probably where I would put it.

uhh... its big and black, basically runs right under the oil filter, big black bar that runs from driver side to passanger side, and then runs behind the oil pan. you honestly cant miss it. just look at the oil filter, then go straight down to a black bar that's below it.

I think I know which one you mean. I think its the one that always scrapes when my car goes over a very high bump. I think that should work perfectly. Thanks for your advise.
