Jacking Points On A 3a

[Guest stu205]

anyone know if there are any "proper" points to jack up a 3A dumb question I know but better to be safe and all that!!

Its best to not jack up on the stainless as it slips. I always jack up off the suspension components front/rear. Or if you don't need to take the wheel off use ramps, I find they are much safer IMO.

I've got an S7 monocoque and jack up on the suspension components (if you'll pardon the expression!!!), when I have used the stainless, I've put a bit of wood in between the jack and the car. Still a bit slippery though.

The back end is easy, jack under the sierra wishbones (trolley jack) under the front I use a piece of wood wide enough to spread the load, and place it under where the shockers mount (which has been strengthened on my car) and jack the whole front end up.

my car builder kyle (10y old) took rear wheel off, took all the precourions and put wood blocks etc under car before he went under, he jacked up car on stainless and put a nice dent in it where it wont take cars weight, so dont use stainless,

cheers guys, Ive been using the sierra wishbones as I didnt fancy using the stainless bit on the rear so looks like I was on the right lines Ta
