I need to use my floor jack and remove my wheels. The normal jack tubes are rusted out and due to be replaced shortly. In the interim, where under the car can I place the jack and not hurt anything?
Thanks, Hal Michael '73 914 2056 RAT '96 993 |

just be careful with the jacking donuts - they can be rusty too. Listen for any crunchyness as you are lifting. If you hear anything put her back down and look for alternatives. The rear donut is pretty close to the fore and aft balance point so you are going to be lifting pretty much the entire side of the car. Heavy.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that, sometimes I forget these cars have rust issues (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I'm proud to have a practically rust free unrestored car, only had a problem with the drivers side outer rocker cause a PO went offroading and caught a bunch of dirt up in there |
