[Mk2] [Generic] Where do I put the axle stands?

[TubbyTTop]

OK, I'm prepared for getting blasted but I thought I'd ask before I do any damage to the car.

Where is the best place to jack the car up from using a trolley jack both front and rear and where can I place the axle stands? Any pic pointing out the where would be MUCH appreciated.

Thanks

The best place I've found for jacking the car up from the front is in the middle, about 2 foot back from the front bumper. Sorry for the lousy description lol, but you'll see a kinda "depression" in the under trays and there's a solid point behind/above this. You might need to drive the front up onto a couple of bricks or some wood first in order to get enough clearance under the car for a trolley jack.

As for the axle stands, it depends if you need to remove the under trays or not for what ever job you're carrying out. The front chassis rails are fine for the job (provided they're sound of course) or the point where the lower suspension arm pivots/attatches to the chasis.

Sure some other people will chip in with suggestions
