I noticed that a teener on ebay is supported by the Engine Bar and not the jack point on a lift.
Is this a definite no no? Attached image(s) ![]() |

So, what's the longitudinal shear strength of an 8mm 8g bolt? Granted, there are 2 per side, but you may be pushing it to subject them to the weight of the car. The load applied by the driveline is substantially less because the outer mounts sit on the body. Lifting by the mount hangs the body FROM the mounts. Think about it.
BTW, the engine supporting trick for an Audi 100 LS was to run a single long 8mm bolt through the front "snubber" mount behind the grille and hang the entire weight of the engine and tranny from that bolt and the nose sheet metal. That's the other side of the question. I think you CAN jack the car from the motor mount, but it doesn't mean you SHOULD. The Cap'n |
