Jacking Up

PostPosted: Thu Apr 22, 2010 4:28 pm

I need to jack up my car and place it under 4 axel stands. I won't have access to the left side as the car is parked up and the pavement/sidewalk is in the way (I have no drive way). Would a trolly jack used at the front/right jacking point lift the car high enough to place both front axel stands or would it sorta lean to one side?

Or can you trolley-jack it up from the front? If so where/how and can you reccomend a specific trolley jack?

You'l want a decent trolley jack and not the "2 ton trolley jack" from argos.

Heres a guide to jacking up an e36
