Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Malibu / January 2005HELP STUCK WHEEL
I just washed my car last night at a gas station car wash due to large amounts of salt on the roads, I try to wash it once a week in the winter time, i live in Ohio. This morning I went to drive somewhere and found the passenger rear tire wouldnt move, I drove a few feet on the road and it unstuck itself, I thought maybe the water from the car wash froze something which kept the wheel from moving. Is this so, will there be any damage from this or should I not worry? If it is a malibu its rear wheel drive and if it was the rear time it was more then likely frozen from the car wash.. No harm should come from it.... If it happens when its not below freezing, then youve gotta problem...

Park the car facing north. Open hood. If the engine is also facing north then it's RWD. If it's facing east then it's FWD. This is a general rule of course. If it's a NASCAR it's always RWD even if the street version is FWD. I am certain that you 2004 Malibu id FWD. Im from Ohio myself. No harm done , just got a little water inside the drum. It was 78 in Phoenix today. >I just washed my car last night at a gas station car wash due to large >amounts of salt on the roads, I try to wash it once a week in the winter [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >which kept the wheel from moving.
