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

I need to get my rims and calipers powder coated and would like to know how to go about jAcking my car onto 4 stands in the safest manner. I tried to look for step by step instructions but had no luck...

POST 2Original post

Put your jack on a Corner.. Jack the car the higher you can, go put Candle at other point, repeat until you have 3 candle installed.. most of the time you'll be able to slide in the 4th candle without the jack because the car will already be supported at the 3 other place You may also want to jack the car at a front/rear center point to be able to pu two candle at the time..

POST 3Original post

This link is the second one down when you google, 'boxster jack.' http://boxsters.addr.com/jacking.htm

POST 4Original post

I just use my jeep jack since the one the boxster comes with isn't high enough. Something else I noticed is that if I have 3 jacks under the car in the designated spots all at the same level, the 4th one (at the same level) will just slide under as if the car isn't properly balanced. Is this normal?
