Putting the GTA up on blocks

Postby Tom » Sun Apr 23, 2017 1:32 am

Hi All

Unfortunately the GTA is not getting used as much as I would like at present so I think I should raise her up on blocks/stands.

Any help on the ideal places on the undercarriage to do this would be much appreciated.

I normally go for axle stands front and rear subframes, centre of wishbone or adjacent to nearby vertical.

I mean on the subframe central to the wishbone rather than on the wishbone itself obviously
