Hi,

My cars getting some new rubber tomorrow and long overdue I must add. I guess they'll be using a trolley jack to lift my motor but I hope they are'nt gonna use my sills or else I'll be suggesting they use my manual one.

Does anyone know the safest places to locate a troller jack front and rear on a scoob or year 2003?



Comments appreciated.

I made up a jacking plate adapter using square section steel tube and a flat base plate to emulate the std sizzer jack top plate.

Other than that you can jack up the front on the plate behind the engine and the rear diff with a bit of wood to spread the load over the casting.

Interesting.

I was told to steer well clear of raising the car using the rear diff as a jack point!

Can't remember when or who told me though.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Well, I got my tyres fitted today and observed carefully where the mechanic stuffed his jack. Thankfully he avoided the sill areas but used a curved strut bar that runs behind the wheel disappearing behind the sill. Seemed pretty stable... hopefully no harm done
