So your car is stuck or needs to be moved (not towed) where do you hook, wrap the chain so you dont do damage?
Front and rear. I had to pull mine from the rear cause of how it was stuck. Even though it looks like no major damage it sounds like I used the wrong place. I called a service manager at buick he said the control arm is not good use somewhere else but he did not have a somewhere else for me.

There's not much to choose from under there. It just looks like it is all plastic underneath. I hooked on to the control arm too last winter when high centered in deep snow. I pulled very slowly with a tractor. Had to pull it sideways and then forward. It worked okay and did not damage anything. I wouldn't pull hard on it.

Thanks for relating your experience. I was stuck in the sand, on the beach and the tide was coming in.right after the first wave splashed my wheels a kid with a 4runner shows up and has a chain. I went with the control arm because nothing else looks like it will work. we had to pull from the rear. I was in deep and it did not move the first two attempts. he then slammed it three times, I was concerned but looking at the other option of hoping my car floats, I just let him go.
there was some sign on the arm but once I got my wheels balanced there appears to be no touble.
