adolf1976 0 Posted May 20, 2010 is it alright to jack up the car on the front wishbones under suspension. Car wont drive up onto car ramps without hitting the front. Side jacks dont go high enough Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big'G' 0 Posted May 20, 2010 If you can find a scaffolding board and chop it in half you should be able to get onto your ramps....... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted May 20, 2010 As above, or jack up under the front axle. DON'T jack up under the wishbones! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Critical_Mass 10 Posted May 20, 2010 Bit of a plug for Philuk - if you have those metal ramps Phil (philuk) can sell you some ramp extension to help lowered cars get onto the ramps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poll250 0 Posted May 22, 2010 I was under the impression that putting axle stands under the subframe at the rear wishbone bolt was the recommended procedure? I've got an annotated phot showing the jacking points somewhere... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Critical_Mass 10 Posted May 22, 2010 cardboard between the jack or axle stands and the underside of the car works a treat! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
