where do i put axle stands?

Post by kitt » Mon Jul 14, 2008 7:19 pm

I'm always working on my 480 myself but have never used a trolley jack to change the brakes - just always the normal jack in the car! I've just bought a trolley jack and some axle stands - but where can i put the axle stands under the car? - i use the jacking point for the trolley jack but need to put the axle stands somewhere!! Can someone please advise me or post some pics up?


Many Thanks

I believe this has been discussed in another post just recently. Post has explanation with pictures and everything. Its not in this section thought as this is for tuning snd tweaking

On the main chassis rails-the box section "tubing" like an "H" shape under the car-NOT the floor pan!! Unless you are going for a Flintstones look! ;) :lol:
