I am changing my front brake pads this afternoon. I have two jackstands and the jack from the trunk. Where would you guys reccomend placing the jackstands?

 

I recomend getting a real jack 1st, 2nd I've put stands under the sus. arms

 

The frame cross-member. Its right behind your front axle, and runs parallel with it.

or what NRA said, lol...

 

what

 

yeah, dont put it on the stop sign looking rails that run along the length of the car...they bend bad.

 

i usually put it on the frame rails running parallel with the side of the car.

 

Thanks guys, front pads are installed.

 

those frame rails bend after a while.

 

There is a perfect spot on either side of the front crossmember for jackstands. It only sucks when you are changing the oil.

 

I have ramps for that.

 

ya i wouldnt use the stock jacks to do anything more than change a tire in an emergency those things scare me. get a real jack and ramps and jackstands and chucks. have seen/had too many close calls and remember to set the parking brake and put it in gear and take the key out (not to sound like your mother or anything)

 

The TII is too low to drive on ramps. Have to jack it up and put them under the tires.

 

lol jack the car onto ramps

 

you can get sport car low ramps and I know where the cross member is

 

I do the same thing sounds funny .. but it works.
