With all this talk of our cars on jack stands, i was wondering the best spots for the stands to be placed. I usually place the front pair right back of the front wheels, in the side channel on the floor (right inside of the rocker panel). The rear set, i put underneath the engine mountaing bar. Car seems balanced (doesn't move when i'm hauling my 300 pound carcass in and out while bleeding the brakes), i just wonder if it is the best spot.

I just replaced a floor pan that was badly mangled where I had jacked the car up at the rear of the tunnel under the firewall. I won't be doing that again but it is circled in that diagram.

QUOTE(bbrock @ May 17 2018, 08:52 AM)  I just replaced a floor pan that was badly mangled where I had jacked the car up at the rear of the tunnel under the firewall. I won't be doing that again but it is circled in that diagram. The ovals indicate where there is a box section of sorts that will support the weight. Unfortunately the flat sheet metal is prone to major denting. You don't need 4 lifting spots. It is more like 8: 4 for the floor jack and 4 for the jack stands. |
