Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Is there anywhere under the body that an axle stand could be placed other then the jacking points? i ask as im thinking of changing the suspension myself and i dont have a full ramp just a trolley jack.

POST 2Original post

So why would putting all four corners on jacks, at jacking points be an issue? I'm confused. Do you mean how do you get the car onto 4 stands?.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yea sorry i didn't realise i was confusing people oops[ ]. Its just i didn't think it was safe going under with just a trolley jack as it could fail.

POST 4Original post

No need to apologise - I thought that what you said first time was fairly obvious as (you quite rightly say) nobody should be working under a car just on a trolley jack and you need to get the car in the air first to place your fixed stands. I jacked up the car with the trolley jack under the suspension lower arms and then placed the axle stand (with a piece of wood between) at the usual jacking points. I didn't do all 4 corners at once - I did the rears then the fronts, I felt this would be more stable. I did seriously chock the set of wheels that were on the ground though. I had quite lowered suspension and to get the trolley jack underneath the car at the lower arms I drove the car up onto some pieces of wood to give me a couple of extra inches room, this may not be necessary with standard height depending how 'slimline' your trolley jack is. There's probably a more recommended way and I guess someone will suggest something else. Dave Jones
