Axle stand points front

[Zzakz]

Hi,

Apologies if its been asked but where would the axel stand points be on the front of my car. Please see picture.

Car is a MQB seat leon facelift mk3.5 2019.

First time ill be getting it on axel stands and working under my car so need to know exactly where i can put it.

Would appreciate if someone could mark exact location on the picture.

Thank you

Axle.


Depends on the bit I'm working on, but if no obvious places try to use the suspension pick up points.

Try where the control arm.mounts to the subfrme


This ofc depends on how your axle stands are

On the cast subframe I would imagine is the best place.

Want to work on the lower engine mount on subframe.

Would it be safe to use the trolley jack on the subframe and then put the 2 axel stands on the jack sills on either side? This would give me space to work in the middle

Is this for the bush insert? If so I wouldn't bother spending much time propping the entire front end up on axle stands. Jack it up on one side and put an axle stand under the wishbone just for safety.

If your jack will reach I'd lift it under where the control arm mounts to the subframe (with a block of wood), then put the stands under the sills.

This works well as long as the ARB doesn't interfere - sometimes things are 10x harder with that trying to drag the strut about
