Default gsx towing?

hey i know you cant tow a gsx unless it is on a flat bed . but could you tow it using a tow bar?


and i was also wondering could you tow it if you took out all of the cv axels and then towed it?
thank you

Besides a flat bed, you could take out the driveshaft and put it on a dolly.

And what are sychronizers in the rear?

are you talking out your ***? theres no synchronizers in the diff, synchronizers are in the transmission to help you shift from gear to gear easier.
