jack and jack stands

[etlsport]

thanks joe, great link! i dunno why i didnt think to look on a site like that, im on a first name basis with the guys at advanced auto up the street... a few weeks ago, my girlfriend drove the VX up there while i was working on her car and she said when she pulled up someone from inside came out and started askin her about the vx and where she got it and if it was hers then when she mentioned my name they said they were makin sure she hadnt stolen it!

im also glad i dont have to pick the VX up for much of anything, i figure jack stands will make rotating my tires and painting my calipers much easier, plus the misses has a del sol... ive even contemplated using a jack just to try to get in it haha

I remember when jacking aircraft with tripod jacks, (same as a jack stand) we use to have to beat the legs into submission with wheel chocks so that all three feet were on the ground. Same rule applies with jack stands, espically when putting the whole car on stands, make sure all tree stand feet are flat on the ground. Just give them a smack with a rubber mallet.
