string Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 jack there car up on lowered kitted starlets. I wanted to swap wheels over. Tried wheels on bricks, super low trolley jack. Help would be nice please. Could i jack the rear off the rear beam n hopefully get it tilted enough to jack at front. Toms skirts means theres a mass gap between jackin point.

LukeSR Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I get someone to lift the car up lol.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 i use the old scissor jack at the back to lift it up then use the hydrolic jack for the front Quote Link to post Share on other sites
addz Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I have a 1 ton low entry jack that I place on front (behind/underneath bumper) and then once high enough i place 2 ton jack as per norm. My 1 ton jack is a bit dodgy hence why I use the heavier one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
string Posted July 6, 2010 Author Share Posted July 6, 2010 on front under bumper? Which bar is this? Also is jackin on rear axle safe? I have a full toms kit so its bout 2 inch all round. Cheers for the replies guys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
string Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 is using rear axle ok to jack from? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 ^^^ yes probably the best place to jack it at the back IMOi use the old scissor jack at the back to lift it up then use the hydrolic jack for the front^^boom got it in one thats the ebst way to do it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james@cjperformance Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 you can jack it on the rear axle under the shock do not jack it in the middle as it will bend slightly.on the front you can jack it up where the wishbone is mounted to the car and then lower it onto an axelstand, if you cant get the jack under the sill, drive the car onto some blocks of wood.

string Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 i could jack it on sill but skirts are like 3inch down so they get crushed if i attempt. So.... Can u jack on middle of rear axle? Or is it best at the side as close to wheel as possible. Once this is established i think it'll be fine. Cheers for the help everyone craig Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ryan lang Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 just use the scissor jack in the boot of your car, at the back of the sill on the mounting point, this should raise the car high enough to get a decent jack under there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
string Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 can't use sills as they have skirts infront so scissor jack doesn't slide under. I'm thinkin 4 blocks of wood. 1 under each wheel. Safe anyway though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 ive got skirts too :s it will fit dude Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 theres a recess in the skirts for the jacking points not the actualy sill lmao Quote Link to post Share on other sites
