About to swap exhausts. Want the car on axle stands before I get undernithe it, but cannot see an obvious place for them to go at the back of the car.Should I use the beam or will that knacker it? Cheers Dai ________________________________________ Xbox Live: DaicarvideoGuy, Forza 4 |

Rear beam will be fine, it's rock solid and there's no weight at the rear of these cars anyway  ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Yep, jack up on the rear sill points and place the stands under the rear beam one each side.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

Or as said there are sill points about 8" in from the rear, they have a little folded over tab on them, this would make access a little easier for you as the stands would be further apart, and more stable, which is handy when you are trying wrestle a reluctant exhaust off a car!________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

Jack the car on the sills then put the stands between the the 2 big bolts on the sub frame job done as for the rear well that comes up with the front so jack the car up from the front then put the axel stands under the rear sill points. |
