I know this might seem a bit thick but where abouts under the car can you place axle stands? I have a good idea but just want to make sure, lol. :roll:

Any pics would really help!

under subframe mounting points or chassis rail

always remember to use a wide wooden block putting
the car on axle stands mind ,distributes the pressure
to start with as well as protecting the underseal :wink:

Someone on here also mentioned putting carpet on the jack plate so that you don't put indentations in the underseal when jacking :)

If ya jack the front high enough up comes the back saves trouble and time

Use the chassis rail with carpet to protect the underseal

Thanks, I've wondered this for a while, have been using ramps or relying on Jack with a wheel led down under the sill incase it goes =)
