Hi, looking for recommended places to place axle stands under the chimaera, hopefully to put four under it to be able to get right under, thanks

If I'm lifting onto 4 axle stands I always place them on the square sections centre between the lower wishbone mounting points. Logic being that those are the areas that normally carry the weight of the car

Depends what your doing
But under the main box part of the chassis
I have also put the rear ones under the uprights

Just finished oil change and started chassis cleaning. Used to go straight onto axle stands (main rails as others have said) but 'upcycled' some extruded alloy beams from my mum and dad's old conservatory....
