hey everyone
sorry if this is a stupid question: i've got to put my 914's ass high in the sky this weekend for some exhaust work. i've only got one floor jack and 2 jack stands (+ the stock jack, but i'm thinking that's not going to help me here). where should i jack from? the transmission? this can't be good for the tranny mounts... on a related note, where does everybody jack from when they're just lifting one side? thanks, nathan (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

QUOTE(nebreitling @ Jul 29 2003, 03:16 PM) is the engine bar a good place to put the jack stands under? i like to put them on the shaft of the trailing arm - that's a place that's designed to support the weight of the car. if your tub can take it, the donuts are designed to be support points, and the farther forward you have the jackstands, the lower they have to be raised up... |
