Hi, can anyone help me here:
(1) when jacking the car, when both the front and rear tire leave the floor, is the door gap suppose to remain the same during jack up? or there is a acceptable gap change? (2)when jacking the car, are the both front and rear tire suppose to leave the ground at the same time? Thanx alot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |

as for the jacking yes the whole side of the car comes up because the jack points are basicly the center of balance
as fore the door gap difference i hope you mean .5 cm not mm. and did you do this test with the roof off, a 40 % change in door gap with the roof off i would think to me would mean start looking for rust but not terminal just looking or do some reinforcing. a 40 % change roof on means i would start looking NOW for rust. but with these cars start looking for rust even if the car is perfectly solid |
