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 put jack stands under the trailing arms too, after jacking at the rear donut, but I've always wondered if this is okay. I worry it may damage the arm or mounts. The trailing arm pivots do not normally support the weight of the vehicle, they only deal with the suspension location forces. The rear vehicle weight is carried by the springs, wheels and tires.
