These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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

My new used Boxster has a pretty bad case of wheel rash on the right rear. I contacted Wheel Collision Center in PA and they can fix it. So now I'm thinking I have to get that wheel off and shipped out. I know about the jack points shown in the owner's manual, but once I have it jacked I need to place a jackstand. Does anyone have a tried and true suggestion for the second jack point? For future reference, any suggestions for the front as well? Thanks in advance.

POST 2Original post

I take it you will not be driving the car while your wheel is being refinished. Just put on the spare? These are the places I use for a jack stand. Rear. Front.

POST 3Original post

i placed mine just next to the brake disc.... After speaking to a porsche rep its the best place the boxster can hold on the brake disc. But you might as wheel put the red spare wheel on. I had all my wheels off while getting new tyres

POST 4Original post

Tool pants, is there anything about boxsters that you don't know? I don't think there is.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

TP, a belated thanks for that info. It works like a charm.

POST 6Original post
