Jacking up car


Ozzy

Recommended Posts

More help required please. I assume the best place to put a trolley jack, is under the part of what looks like the A frame. The top of the A if you like, which is connected to the large section of the De Dion tube. Problem is my trolley jack doesn't go low enough to get under this. Is it ok to lift under the Diff? I want to get the car on Axle stands and remove both rear wheels.

 

Anybody else had this problem.

 

Oz.

 

Still Shaking.

Ozzy - it's not uncommon -not enough people listen to me and buy the Machine Mart/Clarke CTJ2LR £30 jack - 110mm entry... *wink*

 

Quick fix will be to find a couple of planks and reverse the rear wheels on to that.

 

If you try lifting via the diff, the suspension will drop down, and you might not get it high enough for the stands...

 

...if you do then get the stands underneath the DD tube - and the jack fails - the car will suddenly descend...

 

Be careful....

 

Oh, and yep - the A-frame pivot is the normal place to jack.

 

Project Scope-Creep is underway...
