Don't laugh, but I've actually never jacked a car by anything but the light of my mobile phone at 3AM in pitch darkness with the emergency jack for blowouts. Nobody to show me how to do it properly so I figured I'd ask the aufalcon gurus
So today I bought two 1T car ramps for general servicing, a 2T floor jack and two 3T stands for getting the rear up. Is this setup alright? I should be able to: - drive up the ramps general servicing - jack up the front and place stands under the front to change front wheels - jack up the rear and place stands under the rear to change rear wheels - drive up the ramps, jack up the rear and place stands under the rear to have the whole car up for servicing Anything I've missed or done wrong? Also, where do I jack the car up? Obviously not the alloy crossmember at the front, and probably not the live-axle dif? Where do I place the stands at the front and the rear? The car manual doesn't really help. Does anyone have a picture this could really help. I'm a visual learner.
