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)

If the bolts were sideways, then shear strength would make lifting there totally retarded. The bolts are vertical...So they can handle it. Not that URY's car figures into this. You probably could lift his by the muffler. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
But hello, there's a drivetrain hanging suspended from a mounting system designed to hold just the front half of the drivetrain. Since the drivetrain weighs significantly less than the car, whether it can handle it or not, lifting the whole car from there is questionable.....Multiplied times 30+years of rust damage in those thin mounting structures only makes it more questionable. Yeah, I've done it before. Would I do it again just because it's been done? Not unless I was under the influence of another drummer's weed. There are other jacking points that are without question, so I use those. |
