What does everyone use between the sills and axle stands? Currently using some very high tec blocks of wood that I have to replace after every use as they crack!

i tend not to use the sills at all, use the chassis or subframe

Cool anywhere specifically front and back? Ive been told you can use the section where the from wishbone connects to the chassis (pretty much underneath the rear of the front wheel arch if that makes sense?

Fine if you have a solid axle.



Use front subframe or you can use rear mount of front wishbone.

Oh dear, hope you like egg..

You can use the inner sill. I use a block of wood or a piece of hard rubber, you just need to check the under seal is still intact after..

To lift the front end (in one) there's a square jack plate in the middle of the sub frame. At the rear, under the rear diff, protected ideally.

Cool, thats the two jacking points ive been using. Just have to find somewhere round the back to prop it up

Ive seen people using alloy wheels on their side as axel stands, that scares me!

What about the rear what did you actually use instead of the jacking points to place the axle stands?

Since when did any scoob have an axle?

Or are they also known as driveshaft stands?????

Where the lower portions of the suspension connects to the chassis there's a large bolt. I place the blocks of wood there ontop of the axle stands.

Nice thread resurrection. But in fact my car has been on stands in these locations since this post until last weekend!
