#1: Best place to Jack up the pug Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Thu Aug 12, 2010 7:32 am ---- Fitting my new susspension this weekend, got all the kit i need finaly, and a mate.
wheres the best place to jack up the front and back with a trolley jack so i can get the axel stands under the sill jacking points. ?

Never had a problem with them.

Not sure where to jack it up under for the rear though so would also be interested in where people do.

Maybe my jack is just masseeeve.

Failing the wood, an Argos catalogue works spot on as well!
