Jacking up the front

[davidd]

Morning,

I want to have a fiddle with my headlights, I don't like jacking one side, putting a stand in then jacking the other side, it just seems wrong.

So I'd like to lift the front and shove a stand under each side at the same time..

Is this advisable? Is there a correct jacking point for this??


Cheers

you can jack the car up on the front in the middle where the towing eye is, it's about a foot in from the front and faces the wrong way, which is the perfect place for a towing eye! this is attached to the main chassis and is the strongest point for jacking the car. not always easy to get the jack in due to height, best thing is to use 2 jacks, put 1 underneath the outrigger arm just behind the front wheel and lift a small amount of weight out of suspension but DON'T lift the car off the ground, you should now be able to slide the other jack under the front.
