  • Best spot for Jackstands on 2001?

    I'm puttin on my exhaust on my 2001 and it looks like there arn't to many good spots for jackstands, where would you guys recommend them for the back?

    www.installuniversity.com has good pics.

    I put my corsa exhaust on and supported the body on the inner frame rails, next to where the lower control arms are located.

    I used a jack on the outer frame rails.

      If I work on the rear of the car on the brakes, etc. I place the jackstands underneath the rear axle tubes. In the front, however I place the jackstands on the inner frame rails.

      EDIT: For exhaust where you probably want the rear suspension to be extended, placing the jackstands on the inner frame rails in the rear as slow mentioned will work just fine. I did not note right away that you were doing an exhaust install.

        Rails where the LCAs bolt in the back ...
        Sorta-railish-things where stuff comes together in the front. I.e. behind the plastic block. Works fine for me. Will use the axle tube when needed.

          The rear is easier, for exhaust I think I rember puting them in front of the trailing arms, just be carefull lower it slowly to make sure you dont bend anything.
