Checks Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I need some help. Let's say I want to work on my car. I'm I stuck using a scissors jack? I could jack it up using my hydraulic jack and an adapter but then where do I place a jack stand? I really don't trust my jack...If it fails then I'm dead. Thoughts? Any suggestions for an easy to use scissors jack? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank F Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I use one of these along the pinch weld: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-ea-Universal-RED-Floor-Jack-Disk-Pad-Adapter-for-Pinch-Weld-Side-JACKPAD-/231461452946?hash=item35e42d7c92:g:k44AAOSwezVWtxIA with the jack of course. Then use a jack stand under the front cross-member -- not exactly sure where, but I believe near where A arm pivots on frame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Checks Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 So you lower the jack so the weight is on the jack stands that are on that cross member? I'm not sure where that is but I'll look for it. Unibody sucks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackBetty Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) You can put the jack stands on the frame rail here. There are fuel lines right beside them so keep that in mind too. Not sure why it's uploading upside down but you get it Edited April 25, 2017 by BlackBetty 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
