jacking points

axmea? · 01-30-2019, 09:43 PM

Front dimple and diff are my liftpoints. Start with a ramp similar to what jay noted for the fronts and jack it up. Can't do rear entry to get to the diff because of the exhaust. Can't use the ramp on the rear because the car is low and have side blades so once the fronts are raised high enough and on stands I roll the low profile floor jack from the side and reach the diff from there. It is quit tricky but get the job done. I don't go anywhere without the ramps just in case it is needed for service.

Thanks guys. Knowing the diff works as a jacking point solves my issue. On the front, I drive it up on a couple boards to get enough clearance for the jack.

I mostly work on lifted 4x4s, so all my stuff is too big for a low little sports car....

You can use the spare tire jack to get the car up to drop it on a stand.... ive done that a few times when i had to get under the front...

I usually don't go under the car. It was to swap my front pads once...
