KE70 trolley jack points???


Recommended Posts

Personally I just use the center of the front cross member or diff on most cars and lift an entire end, not individual corners. Make sure its chocked (especially if you're lifting the rear) and properly supported (jack stands) before you get under it. I love my trolley jack but I don't trust it with my life.

I will happily jack it under the chassis rail, but only with an off cut of merbau in between.  I use a piece 5 - 6 inches long to spread the load.  It has to be quality hardwood so it doesn't collapse on you.

You just have to be super careful, because if you get it slightly off centre, it can slip.  Especially off the diff.  With the crossmember you can jam the jack in the centre hole.  

 

Be be super careful, and keep your head, and so forth well away from under the car.  You wouldn't believe how quickly the car can go from being in the air, to not in the air.......
