Elf 'n' safety.

Hi guys and gals.

Can anyone tell me, or better still show me, the safest place to position axle stands under the front of the car please? Only intend to have one side off the ground at a time.

Thanks in advance,

Thom

I put mine under the outriggers

Thom,

Ive always used the horizontal forward extensions from the crossmember for axle stands, jacking up using the crossmember itself. I've circled the bits in this picture:

Yep safe enough I just find that they get in the way when you are trying to do anything underneath.

Thank-you chaps, horizontal forward extension it is then. Graham, I get your point, but I'm only gonna be working on the brakes and the drop links, so I hopefully won't need to get underneath.
