With all this talk of our cars on jack stands, i was wondering the best spots for the stands to be placed. I usually place the front pair right back of the front wheels, in the side channel on the floor (right inside of the rocker panel). The rear set, i put underneath the engine mountaing bar. Car seems balanced (doesn't move when i'm hauling my 300 pound carcass in and out while bleeding the brakes), i just wonder if it is the best spot.

mine look very similar to those, made by "cat jacks" or some such...
and they fit the same way, I guess I'm just nervous about them like that... I'm sure they are fine... I have a little jack that fits the donuts perfectly, surrounds them and has a bolt in the middle that fits the hole... it would be nice if the jackstands did the same... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) thanks for the pics! |
