Team Effort On The Supper Stretch...

[EdsTowing]

A job from over the weekend. Customer was driving through a private community and bottomed out on a road plate set up at a bridge crossing. Their dispatch told us that the exhaust got damaged & was hanging...

 

 

A little more then "hanging"....like it was ripped completely out from under the car and took the rear bumper cover with it...

 

 

Figured he would have to return for the parts so left them on the side of this cul-de-sac. Had to dolly it since they are AWD in the Lincoln MKT. Not happy about it because it's a lot for the dollies but we didn't have another alternative. Then to make matters worse, the dolly wheel got off the edge going around a sharp turn and bent a spindle...

 

 

He got it to a local station where he could get off the road. I went down with a rollback to get the exhaust parts and bring a new dolly...

 

 

Just the typical crap you go through on a Saturday....

You couldn't get to the shaft to unhook it?

got to suck bending a spindle like that.

Well the irony is you can't get to the shaft typically because the exhaust is in the way, they run the pipes directly underneath it..... So I said when I got there...well you can get to it now...LoL

 

We ordered a new spindle yesterday, should have it fixed by tomorrow.
