Guest 1951Olds88 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 My car will be off the road for 2-3 months and for some of the work I will be lifting it onto a couple of jack stands. However, due to the extended period, I thought it might be a good idea to relieve the tires and set the car on 4 jack stands, totally off all tires, for the duration. If I do that, what would be the best location for the jack stands?Once again my thanks in advance to all the clever blokes in this forumStefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe_padavano Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Your chassis service manual will show the proper locations for jacking points, but as a rule of thumb, I'd want to support the car in a way that keeps the suspension at ride height. That means stands under the rear axle tubes and under the front lower control arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
