hey everyone
sorry if this is a stupid question: i've got to put my 914's ass high in the sky this weekend for some exhaust work. i've only got one floor jack and 2 jack stands (+ the stock jack, but i'm thinking that's not going to help me here). where should i jack from? the transmission? this can't be good for the tranny mounts... on a related note, where does everybody jack from when they're just lifting one side? thanks, nathan (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

i wouldn't use the tranny unless you have solid mounts.
if your jack is low enough, get it under from behind and use the engine cross-bar. that will get the car way up. or, do it the old fashion way, jack up one side first, put the jack-stand under the side (trailing arm, see pic), then do the same on the other side ...
