jacking points
just a quick one, need to refurb the wheels on my lowcost, where is the best place to jack & place surport the front end ? at the min i had to use
the bottom arms to jack [fingers ends in mouth waiting for cracking noises] and using blocks of wood under arms near bottom ball joints once wheels
off . is this ok for it to stand like this for a while. had use this method due to lack of space in the garage & jack not fitting anywhere near
under front end !

Steve,
What you need is one of those quick lifter things for race cars.....whoooosh and it's up. Ideal for 7's front or rear

I just jack where the sides straighten out and lift both wheels on one side at a time without any problems, never heard any cracking noises yet. If
you do the front then the rear I'd think you'd be stressing the chassis more.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Preferably use a pair of trestles to bring the car to a workable height - safe and secure and saves your back
