My car got towed on Saturday and since then I have noticed a more than normal vibration coming from the accelerator peddle. At one point after driving I felt a slight tingling sensation in my right foot caused by the peddle. Granted, I do need to change my rotors and do an alignment but I feel the vibration might be from something else caused by the towing. Then again I could just be paranoid One good thing is that it looks like my car was hooked up by the rear wheels so I don't think there is any damage to the driveshaft.

Are there any common problems caused by towing a Z? What signs should I look out for? Should I have her checked out? Thanks for the help.

they specificaly told me that my car needed a flat bed to be towed. unless they hooked it up 2 the front tow hook (better have had the e-brake and left it in neutral lol)

My car got towed because I parking in a "customers only" parking lot, so I had no choice in what type of tow truck was used to tow my car. I know it wasn't a flatbed because I saw the tow truck guy come back to tow more cars. He must have towed at least 15 cars that night. Anyway, I would appreciate it if anybody has any suggestions as to what I can do or check to determine the source of the vibration. Thanks.

for future reference, park your car in reverse *** end to a wall or pole and throw that e brake up!
Peace!

Thanks for the advice. My ebrake was up and I was in neutral. I always thought cause the Z is rear wheel drive that having it towed with the rear wheels on the ground could damage the car. Is that wrong? Could the way my car was towed have cause the vibration I'm feeling and what can I do to get rid of it? Thanks.

If you leave your brake on they will just drag your car out of the spot anyway. I have seen alot of cars f'd up by tow trucks. I watched them move cars around at an impound with a big forklift too. Some poor Subaru WRX had it's sideskirts destroyed before my very eyes.

So no suggestions as to what I need to have checked out and if the the towing is the possible cause of the vibration.
