Numpty question but not used axle stands before, where is the best place to site them on '03 wrx for brake disk change.

 

Wishbone on front.

 

Which part exactly? The area where it meets the front uprights? What about the rear?

Is it not safe to use the jacking points on the along the sills? I've heard of some scary stories of the sills getting dented under pressure.

 

I know you can use them on the jacking points but then that is where I will be jacking the car up as i don't have a trolley jack.

 

I put them where the chassis leg is at the front behind where the jacking point is for the side jack, If yours has the cradle on still you will see it flattens out.

 

Iv used the sills on mine without any problem

 

Is the name "axle" stand then a bit misleading harking back to the days when cars were a bit more simple?

 

+ 1 for mgcvk

I suppose you should have bought wishbone stands or sill stands lol

 

The picture on the side of the box ( Draper )shows them being used on the sills so clearly they are indeed sill stands!

 

Just don't put them on your side skirts............

(not guilty by the way )
