Question:
Can a wheel lock prevent a vehicle from being towed? Can I use this lock on a Gallant and a small trailer, not at the same time?

Expert Reply:
Depending on which wheel The Wheel Club - Tire and Wheel Lock, part # W1490, is mounted to will determine if a car can be towed. If the vehicle's non-drive wheels or wheels that are not powered by transmission are locked then this would prevent the vehicle from being towed. For example on a front wheel drive car, like your Mitsubishi Galant, if you were to put the wheel lock on the rear wheels, this would prevent the car from being towed by a traditional tow truck that tows the vehicle by lifting the front or rear of the vehicle. The Tire and Wheel Lock will prevent a vehicle from being towed as long as the wheel lock remains on the vehicle.
The Tire and Wheel Lock, part # W1490, can be used on trailers, ATVs, small vehicles, and can fit a tire up to a 28 inch diameter and 9 inches wide. Yes, you can use the Tire and Wheel Lock on your Mitsubishi Gallant or your small trailer.
