If I want jack the whole front of the car up using a trolley jack and a pair of axle stands - where do I do it? Theres solid bit of chassis that can used to jack it up, but then I can't see where I can put the axle stand to take away the jack 
Same for the rear. Mark |

i got mine up front and rear on axle stands, but depends what ur doing underneath, put mine either side of the axel (best bet), near the wheels, was only changing brake and wheels though. |

well, i cant help you with the trolly jack, as i cant actually fit one under my car! As for the axel stands i put it on some sort of bearing type thing. As you look at the front wheel it pivots at a point sort of in line with the wing mirror under the car, you can see the bearing. its hard to explain but u will know when u see it. it seems fairly solid to me, although i dont tend to leave it on there. we have a set of ramps that it goes up on if i need anything.

I use the normal jacking points when using the trolley jack... sometimes struggle getting it under tho, then use the A frame each side of the engine block for the axle stands, always leaving the trolley jack slightly down when on the axle stands - just to take the pressure off |

I just put them at the jacking points either side and use the trolley jack as a back up. |
