Where To Support My S3T


Recommended Posts

She's in her new home and I'm ready to start work. I know where the lifting points are for the jack and tire changing, etc. but where would you locate points for long term support like with 4 fixed stands as I would think you'd want the suspension "unloaded". Would you have to use another means for jacking the car up and then use the 4 wheel jack points. I want to be able to get under the car comfortably for clean up and work with hopefully the engine out.

Thanks for your input.

If you are happy to leave the suspension on then at the front I'd support the inner bottom pivot point of the wishbones, where the large (3 inches long) rubber bush has the bolt go through the chassis and wishbone. For the rear I'd use the points where the bushes and bolts are that hold the inner end of the lower tie rod to the chassis, near the chassis hoop, near the gearbox.

Don't support along the length of those components, just at the point were they are filled with bushes and attach to the chassis.
