It's probably not safe to jack the vehicle on that. It won't be designed to bear the load of the vehicle and might snap off, particularly as the metal surrounding that tie-down hoop can get very corroded.________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |

I only ever use mine to get the car high enough to get the Axle stands in place! Supporting the entire vertical load of the vehicle and stopping it slipping around are not the same. It's probably a tie-down for transit. Specifically what for I don't know, but possibly vehicle delivery, or delivery of the body in white to the assembly plant. It won't initially have been designed to tie it to a rolling road, will it? I am only telling you this for your own safety and wellbeing, I have seen 306s where the metal that is welded to is pure rust where water has gotten behind the underseal. Laugh at that advice all you like, but it was given to you with good intentions, not simply to be pedantic. ________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |

Agreed this loop was used for manyfacture and transport never for jacking and should never be I personally wouldn't EVER!!! . subframe (between the rear bolts at the oval indents ), beam and sill are the correct jacking positions ________________________________________ BLACK RALLYE - phoenixWHITE RALLYE - valliant http://public.servicebox.peugeot.com/ https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history |

If the metal around that tie-down loop is so corroded you can't safely tie it down to a rolling road, the car is probably unsafe to be on any road, never mind a rolling one. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

I'm not debating what to tie the vehicle down to a rolling road with, I didn't bring up rolling roads. My point is that it was never designed to support the vertical load of the vehicle, and that was when it was new and hadn't had any degradation. I'm simply trying to prevent anyone from hurting themselves or damaging their 306. ________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |
