After searching treads on this and reviewing the suggested jackstand positions in the FAQ section, I still have questions.
I’m leery of jacking under either the engine or transmission since both are magnesium. Using my floor jack under the rear donut appears best for lifting, but prevents putting a stand there. So I’m looking at putting stands under the pivot section of the radius / trailing arms in the rear. Does it matter where along the pivot’s length a stand is put? Is another option under the rear strut where it attaches to the radius / trailing arm? … or maybe under the radius arm at the strut attachment (after wheel & tire removal)? The front looks easier: either under the front donut, or the front A-arm pivot (as on my ‘67 911.) Thanks in advance for any comments. Bob S. |
