Jacking points for pair of pneumatic lifts?

[darrenb_123]

 
I have just bought an Exmo and about to Jack it up to change fluids etc and have a pair of lifts I usually use but not looking promising for jacking points…..anyone have any advice?

I really like using these lifts as they get the car full off the ground safely and level to help with draining fluids, etc. I have attached photo of the situation.

At the back the rear subframe is good as it has a large spreader plate bolted on top of the floor.

At the front I have always used the inboard mounting points of the track control arms, I am unsure if your jack system will work for points that far apart.

I once saw a MOT tester jack my car from the rear anti roll bar mounts and cringed but no harm was done.

Thanks Ian.

it might - I might have to buy or get made some longer plates for the lift as not long enough as standard but there’s always a way?

Incidently this post should be in Chassis not lightweight.

The robin hood lightweight was a short lived aluminium mono kit, thankfully long discontinued.

Thanks for the info Ian, still getting used to the site!
