Where to support car
« on: December 31, 2007 - 06:08:45 PM »
I'm getting ready to put the car up on jack stands for a protracted period, probably tomorrow, to start the front suspension work.  The rear stands can go under the axle, but what about the front? Usually I put front jack stands under the control arms, but they're being pulled. I had assumed I was going to use the k-frame, but it looks like the only place that's level enough to use would be dead center. Ideas?

The manuel shows the lift point at the rear of the front frame rails near or at where the meet the tortion bar cross rail.
