We had a 2000 Saturn L300 with an automatic that we towed for over 11,000 miles with all four wheels on the ground. I just had to put a switch on the fuse box which said. "To tow or To Go" not off and on. and left it in neutral. Speeds over 65 mph. So the following statement from the web is not true for all automatics.

"If you pull a vehicle with an automatic, it must have the drive wheels off the ground or disconnected (by removing the driveshaft), unless it is a 4 wheel drive. where you can put the transfer case in neutral".

What does it cost to replace wheel bearing?

That depends on the vehicle; you listed in far too many categories to have this researched for you. For many vehicles, especially front wheel drive vehicles, the front wheel bearings are part of an assembly and you will need to replace the entire assembly AND have the vehicle aligned when you're done. That runs up the price. For some vehicles, such as a 2 wheel drive Silverado, the wheel bearing just slips out when you pull the front hub. You DO need to work a little to remove the inner "race", but that's not too much difficulty. The whole job shouldn't be more than $40 or $50 for a 2 wheel drive pickup, but front wheel drive vehicles and 4 wheel drive pickups can be several hundred dollars.


Front wheels drive means both front wheels connected to the engine. Rear wheels drive means both the rear wheels connected with engines. 4wd means all the 4 wheels are connected with engine.?

No. At least with rear wheel drive without posi track only one rear wheel drives the vehicle. Not sure if there's a drive wheel or if both wheels pull the vehicle on a front wheel drive. It's hard to find rear wheel drive anymore. It's usually only produced now on sports/muscle car models if at all


What side is the drive wheel on for 91 buick 3.8?

the drive wheel thing is a myth. both wheels pull. on a rear wheel drive car of truck many think the right wheel is the drive wheel. not true. the differential causes both wheels to pull evenly. on a rear drive the right wheel will usually spin first due to the tourque of the drive shaft. on a front wheel drive the wheel that spins first will depend on traction conditions

How do you stop a skid in a curve?

Depends a bit on conditions and whether you are driving a front or rear-wheel drive vehicle. Generally speaking, you should steer into the skid, and lift off throttle (in rear-wheel drive). In front-wheel drive, do not lift off throttle completely, but keep power on to pull you out of the skid. Obviously, as the car comes out of the skid, straighten the steering. On ice, it is possible at low speed to control the skid by balancing the understeer generated by the front wheels by creating oversteer pulling on the handbrake. This can ONLY be done on front-wheel drive cars, AND AT LOW SPEED!.
