yeah, so every time i jack up my car, that metal support frame keep crunching and bending. why? what is it made out of? the driver side is what's really bad, i almost pinched my fuel/brake lines when it collapsed. i dont get it.



here is a pic of the passenger side. the drive side is worse.



anyone else have this problem, or is my car "gay" (frestylefc3s' theory)

...shoulda been a poll ... i vote gay... ya know, bent = not straight = gay

RX7Aggie 08-20-2003 09:27 PM

yes, don't do that.



use wood to distribute the weight of the car over a larger surface area, if any of us put our car up on jack stands like that it would bend something.

I usually use a lift, but when I paint the cars and have them jacked up I use cinder blocks with plywood

i put the front jackstands where that rail intersects the lateral one, kinda under the front of the door. much strong there.



in the rear use the rear subrame mounts, the rear of the cars box frame is weak
