jacking the rear of the car for lowering

[Matt 16v]

where's the best place to jack the car up when fitting lowering springs, i've only got one hydraulic jack, but i've got some axel stands too, but i dont really know where to jack the car up from, dont wanna damage anything.

ive tried to look at the FAQ's but its saying i dont have access to them

when i done it in the garage i jacked it up on the axel then put the axel stands under the sills
that was with a proper professional jack though

ah right, so the trailing arm just drops when you remove the jack from it? did you remove the rear wheels too?

 

[richie87]

yup no need to remove the wheels

i wasnt actually fitting springs so i dont know about the front but all you do is take the bottom bolts out the struts and take the jack out
