Need a Spot
On the way home tonight my dad was following me and he notices sparks fall from under my 95 4runner once and a while. They looked like cigarette butts but from comming out from under the vehicle. It seemed that it sparked when I hit bumps. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> What in the world could it be??? Is it safe to drive???

Well, I would say that you have something metallic dragging underneath there.

Go see what's hanging.
