Jackstand location
Hi everyone - been a while since I've posted on here - switched jobs just after my wedding and have been working like crazy ever since.
Looking at jacking the Z up and doing some cleaning in preperation for winter storage and would like to take the wheels off to clean thoroughly. What's the right place for the jackstands? Is it the jacking points just behind and ahead of the front and rear wheels? Dave

Re: Jackstand location
Thanks for the quick reply! That's what I thought it must be.
How did you get front and back up at the same time? I've tried several different ideas and none seemed to work well.  Dave

Re: Jackstand location
jack it up in the center, between where the two jackstands are. Use a good floor jack.

Re: Jackstand location
A picture is worth a thousand words. Where is the jack making contact or is it just pushed under the back of the car to fit in the garage?
Thanks, Jason

Re: Jackstand location
ignore the jack, its just being stored there, center the jack in the center of the car, and jack it up, place the stands in the proper locaiton and slowly lower the car onto the stands.
Make sure to put the jack on the frame and not the fiberglass. LGAFF 92 ZR1 #234 |

Re: Jackstand location
Two floor jacks work the best. I usually lift the front and then go to the back.

Re: Jackstand location
It should not cause any damage, should be done with doors closed and roof on as should any time you are jacking up the car. This method is outlined in several books. Plus not everyone has two jacks. My guess is if you are asking how to jack up the car, I assumed you probably didn't have two.
