jacking points

[broadie777]

need to get both front wheels off the ground is there a single jacking point at the front of the car i can use same for the back thanks for youre help it for my 540 i 96

I use the front cross member.

Due to the low ride height, I typcially have to drive the car up on some 2x4 blocks so I can get the jack and jack pad underneeth the cross member.

That's the only jack point I can think of that will allow you to pickup the front of the car equally.

I do the exact same thing. What we really need are " low-pro aluminum racing jacks."

Im just wondering, but why do you capitalize every word?

they might be all caps and the forum breaks that down to just the first letter being caps...basicly he is screaming at us.

I have raised the front both wheels at a time with a floorjack under the cross-member dozens if not 100's of times and never gave it a second thought. Lately I'm thinking it might be the reason why my upper control arm bushings tear up prematurely. Anymore I'm inclined to think ramps are the best way to go, but the stupid things slide when I drive up on them & the tire treads are wider than the platform & they scrape the spoiler lip -- I'm screwed either way I guess.

Same thing happens to me. I just take off the front bumper to get it on the ramps and the tires rub the ramp walls because they are also too wide.

[632 Regal]

you guys are tards.... JK. you need a chunk of 2x10 to lean up the ramp part so the spoiler dont scrape and the ramps wont slide.

[632 Regal]

wrong!



ok I put the top of the board about 3/4 the ways up the ramp.

(the "D" is for dickhead)

edit: no i remember, its for drivers side
