Question:
I have a 2009 Pontiac G5 that I flat tow behind my Motorhome using a road master all terrain Nighthak 2 10K tow bar. I pulled over when towing because the arms on the tow bar were significantly different lengths causing one of my tires to stay steaming on a wet roads. What should I do to prevent this from recurring?

Expert Reply:
It sounds like the arms of your Roadmaster Nighthawk All-Terrain Tow Bar w/ LED Lights # RM-676 got stuck before locking in place. I recommend spraying the arms with some lubrication # RM-747 and working the arms in and out a bit. You can then connect to the G5 as normal and pull forward a bit with someone watching to make sure that the arms pull out straight and lock in place. I also recommend recommend covering # RM-055-3 the tow bar when not in use to prevent the elements or any debris from deteriorating the tow bar further.
