Best place for axle stands?
« on: 25 June 2007, 16:02:10 »

For servicing the rear brakes??

Bearing in mind the movement of the suspension when it's jacked up and the slopey design of the axle :-/

I know it's a simpleton thing but want to be safe :-[ Pics would be ace :y

Cheers

There's a thread on this about two or three months ago . Front under chassis leg inboard of the jacking points.
 Rear ,some members say tht they use the diff to jack up and have had no problems ,I jack up on the jacking points and place the stands on the subframe mounts.
On both front and rear I use sections of rolled carpet cuts on the top of the stands to prevent damege to the underside.
I agree it is a pain to jack up and fit stands under the Omega it takes twice as long to get started on a job than any other car I have had.
