Off Roadway Towing Method
When a truck is disabled and equipped with a
STEERTEK axle, care must be taken to ensure
there is no damage to the suspension when
towing the vehicle.
The use of a tow strap is necessary to tow a
disabled truck into a repair facility. The tow straps
should be connected to the tow hooks provided by
the manufacturer at the front of the bumper. If the
use of tow hooks is not an option, then a tow strap
may be wrapped around the front axle (see
illustration) in a manner that is acceptable for
towing the vehicle into the shop.
DO NOT use a tow chain around the front axle to
tow the vehicle. Doing so will damage the axle and
void warranty. See illustration.
