trolley jack jacking points

[addzzp]

i have done a search but didnt really find an answer. where is the best place to use a trolley jack on the front and rear? and where yould be a good place to put the axel stands? i heard that you shouldnt use a trolley jack on the sills on the side where the jacking point is marked...so confused.

I always used them I thought thats what jacking point were for ?

Same here, jacking points are made for jacking up! if your car isn't too low you could also use the bottom of the hub.

i just heard that you shouldnt use trolley jacks on the sills, and tht only the car jack should be used on them...??

might be true as they have a little groove in them which the little jack in the boot sort of clips around, mine have bent a little bit under the weight of the car
but still its only a little bit of metal

doesn't make any difference as to whether they're slightly bent or straight to me

as above,

i used to use the round bits of metal just behind the jacking point with my trolley jack, until i was told it was actually a strapping point and i shouldnt use it.

for axle stands i use the anti roll bar where the bushes are bolted on, has a nice curve for the stand to sit around nicely.

Perfect place to use for axle stands
