Need help with car jacks

RekeHavoc · 05-06-2011, 01:11 PM

I think they are using the hockey puck with a groove machined into it to jack the car up using the frame's pinch weld jack point. I ended up just jacking mine up underneath the differential housing and placing the jack stands underneath where the rear subframe mounts to the chassis. It was plenty sturdy when I swapped my exhaust.

Can someone please show me a picture of this?

just use common sense when jacking up the car and putting the stands on. jack up the rear using the rear differential, and use your judgement as to where you can safely put the jack stands. i tend to use the same rear sub-frame meets as well, but you have to jack the car higher to use these points
