Front blown struts (E550) drag out from container !!??
Hi guys
In some way i received an information that my two frontal struts are blown and the front of the car gets down. Am really get confused how do i can drag the car out of the container and load it on a tow truck ( i decided to convert to springcoils ).
Plz could someone help me how can i drag it a little bit out of container and load it in the tow truck ? I get an idea of putting two spare tires to reduce the friction between the front wheels and fender in order to drag it from the container and load it in the truck. I don't know but any idea will help me in this issue !!
Jack the front of the car up (see Youtube for assistance) and insert towing blocks. You can use the rubber Mercedes blocks ($$$) or just put a piece of wood in the same location. If you use wood, load the car onto a flat bed, do NOT tow the car as the wooden blocks can bend the upper control arms. The rubber blocks are springy and will not damage the upper control arms.

Plz give me more information about the towing block, i didn't found any info, plz give me more information.
Where to put the wooden blocks exactly !?
A sqaure piece of 2x4 is sufficient. This is not rocket science. You just need to raise the front suspension 2 to 4 inches so the tires clear the fenders.
