I'm sure some of us have questions as to the correct placement of jacks and jack stands and the proper lift points for hoisting Pagodas, some of which may have been discussed before in different threads.
I wonder if we can consolidate some important info into this thread to help with searches.
Some questions that come to mind;
Aside from the factory jacking points, which points on the chassis are safe to lift by?
Is it OK to lift the whole front from the crossmember?
What about the idea that was discussed, I believe by Bernt Damn on the old Yahoo list of the danger of having front sub-frame mounts shear if the car is not properly hoisted?
Is there a problem with placing a jack stand under the diff and allowing the axles to hang, aside from overfilling the diff, if the oil level is checked this way?
Is it safe to support the whole car on jack stands, and where would they be placed?
What about tow points if we should end up needing one? I prefer flatbeds for the view
