Default Towing the Car

So my car died and I had to tow it and I tied it to a bar below and now it looks like its wobbling a bit though I could have just noticed and it could be the normal amount of wobble. What exactly is and did I **** something up? All it does is barely squel now.

It shouldnt wobble either. Our engines aren't cheap. Never hook up a tow to that or any other part of your engine.
