Quick Car Lift Question - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

BlackZR1 · 08-15-2015

"Solutions" describe lifting the rear: "A Steel adapter has been designed and proven safe to lift the rear axle directly under the center of the rear spring mount using a floor jack." "The pipe adapter is captured between the rear spring mount bolts"
If I read this correctly, and looking at my car. the adapter will be in contact with the spring itself correct?

Thanks,
Roger

I think it goes under the rear diff but I've never used that. I always use the factory jacking points to jack up the car

Marc Haibeck used to make and sell jack adapters for use on the rear spring. I don't know that he still does, but you might contact him to see if he has one still. (www.zr1specialist.com). --Bob
