Jacking points

[Hazza]

I took my car to a garage ones, and they jacked up the car and bent my sill :S where my jacking point is i think...

Don't know where to jack my car up at the front now... wht can i do?

Having never used the renault jack i cant remember what they look like or how they fix on, but my guess would be trolley jack, block of wood... hey presto!

use the struts that run from the front to the bck of the car just behind the subframe youl see them if you look under your car

Same.

Put it on the sill where it's doubled up.

I got given a trolley jack by my next door neighbour, hes had it for ages, but said hes too old to use it now, so given it to me...

Though the hydrolics in it has gone, so doesnt pump no more... any ideas?

 

[Final Maxim]

put new oil in? lol

 

[Hazza]

not sure whether its safe to use, coz hes had it for 20 years!

 

[Final Maxim]

nothing unsafe about it really, just change the oil, clean it up, jack up the car, get an axle stand under there, done

are you doing it right twist the handle anti clockwise until it stops then try and jack it up. if that doesn't work it needs oil.

Alex - Are you sure YOU'RE doing it right?

LOL my dads a mechanic and i been working at his garage for like 4 weeks now, using them everyday, and i am wrong yeah it is clock wise. anti clock wise to let the car down what was i thinking

 

[blakey]

I have had my sills bent over, because mine has more weight to lift on the back end so i designed this to support jacking if it helps. Made mine from some off cut mahogney.

If your MOLE grips are mouldy, give them a clean.
