Yes - and if you look at the diagram showing the frame area (diagonal lines behind each front wheel) - there is enough room to place a jack and then put a jack stand adjacent.
I wish there were a center front jacking point. I bought some jackstands called JackPoint jackstands - a brilliant invention (wish I'd thought of it). They allow you to jack the car up and place a jackstand - all in the same space. They are extremely heavy duty and well made, and I would have no issue putting the car on these and leaving them. A friend with a GT3 introduced me to them. I only bought two since the rear has a center lift point that makes life easy. http://www.jackpointjackstands.com/ I have no affiliation to JackPoint jackstands. Not cheap but the last jackstand you'll ever need. My only objection is that they make the car a bit higher than I'd like for changing wheels - but I can live with it. |

This is a nice thing c2 but I can't get them here in germany. In one of your further posts you said it could be dangerous to jack the car only on one side on front because of the windshield. But if there is no center jacking point, ther is no other way. How to lower the risk?

I already told Chriscraft to go to your post Twinv10, in the thread further above.....apparently he did not listen to the advice, or he would not have asked C2 the same question AGAIN!

When we want to lift the entire front end - we use two jacks at once. If I'm by myself- I jack each side a little - going back & forth (and back & forth) until I get it to the desired height, and then put a jack stand under each side. It costs more (cause you need two jacks) but I've found having two jacks is useful for many tasks and makes it easier. The car is stiff enough to jack from one side in my opinion. Maybe others can add to that statement. Carol Last edited by c2; 02-26-2013 at 06:44 PM. |
