At the rear I jack the whole rear at once via the cross-member and use jack stands at the jack points.

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

Just got my new exhaust system from GHL and can't wait until the dealer opens next week to put them on. Can anyone tell me where the "correct" place to position the jacks stands is once I jack it up? Thanks

POST 3Original post

Well, there's lots of places NOT to place the jack stands. Whatever you do, think about it several times before you do it. I had a couple minor cg-related surprises (car body rotating in a direction I didn't expect while jacking down w/ one stand in place; front end rising while jacking the rear) the first time I went through this process, primarily because of the stiffness of the frame, and overall dimensions of the car. The attached image shows what I did at the rear of my car, placing the stands under the main lateral cross brace, just inboard of the suspension pivot (I'm sure that someone out there can describe it more eloquently than I). Good luck w/ the new exhaust! Jeff

POST 4Original post

Don't you acctivate the float button? Orient Express has this option

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks everyone...for the input. I knew that someone out there would know exactly where to place the stands and would also provide additional info such as what was offerred by "drafting". I have only had this car for 3 mos. and this is the first opportunity for me to put it in the air. thanks again

POST 6Original post

Even though I have a low jack I find that driving onto 2 pieces of 2x6 or 2x8 is very helpful to get the jack under the car. The Porsche has 4 jacking points, one at each corner, and a special fitting to center into each jack point. At the rear I jack the whole rear at once via the cross-member and use jack stands at the jack points. I made up 4 plates with centering bolts that fit into each jack point rather than buying the special jack pad. This way you won't fall off or mar the jack points.
