Where To Jack Car When Upgrading Rear Suspension

[The_enthusiast]

As title suggests

I'm in the middle of upgrading rear lca and panhard and away bar now I have ramps or should I jack from flat ground and do eat corner at a time?

Jack it from the center of the diff and lift the whole rear in the air and put it on jack stands on the chassis rails. This means you can adjust the height of the diff up and down if you need to.

Make sure you block the front wheels.

 

You want the diff unobstructed.

Like Reed said-

 

Then put the ramps on some timber and put them under the chassis rails, if you don't have stands.

 

We do this sort of jacking under the rally car a lot when working on it, but we have tall stands as well. We have to jack the car, put small stands under, let down the jack, put some solid timber on the jack and lift it again for the tall stands.. one day we will get organised properly!

Tried this and it worked a treat!

Thanks guys

I was trying to jack it from corner and just doing one side at a time that's why I asked because it seemed to load the sway bar and I'd have to unjack jack the other side so on and so forth :)

 

Helped heaps :)

Will get some

Pictures up soon :)
