LeeroyV Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 whats points on the glanza are the recommended jacking up points???also where do you guys put axle stands etc??? Quote
ollie ryan Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 i jack it up on the rear axle and because the car is so low i use the front tow hook to jack it up then put the axle stands under the wishbones Quote
TrisK Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 right at the front and back of the sill.if you look you can see they are reenforcedfor axle stands just be sensible. put them on jacking points/anything strongstuff that isnt going to bend, and obviously make sure you take heavy stuff out the car, and dont be climbing round in it when its jacked up/on stands Quote
TrisK Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 i jack it up on the rear axle and because the car is so low i use the front tow hook to jack it up then put the axle stands under the wishbonesthe scissor jack that came with mine (i presume its oem) would get under anything, it folds silly flat.

LeeroyV Posted June 21, 2011 Author Posted June 21, 2011 cheers guys.. yeah i have had it up on stands a couple of times but both times found myself thinking 'where exactly you are meant to use'.... Quote
GTnomez Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 If you look or feel under the corner of your arches where it meets the sideskirts, both front and rear you can feel something that resembles this:--^^--^^--^^---Thats where it is reinforced and where the jack/axle stands go. Quote
Rob Scott Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 you can also stand it on the chassis rails, i dont like standing on the sills, as it can crack the paint and starts rusting, and if you have skirts somtimes they arnt visablefront:back:if your using a trolley jack on the sills, use a piece of wood to spread the load and protect the sills.also if your working under the car, stick a couple of wheels under the sills incase the car drops off the stands, the car wont squash you flat then ;) Quote
