# Placing jack stands under your car.

Is your life worth 5 minutes of your time? How about $100? A good quality set of jack stands, positioned correctly under your car, is worth every bit of money and effort if the jack fails while you are under there. Don't take short cuts, do the job right!

#### Front:

Place jack stands at point where control arm bushing is mounted to front frame rail. |
If control arm bracket is to be removed, place the jack stand a little further back, on the frame rail. |

#### Rear:

Place jack stands on rear sub-frame, next to sub-frame bushing. |
If sub-frame is to be removed, place jack stand at factory jacking point on sill. |
