Re: Jacking Off

by the way, those little tabs under the fender ARE NOT FOR THE STOCK JACK.

no matter what they look like, they are not.

Re: Jacking Off

Yeah so the jacked it OK (from the subframes), but more importantly, they didn't fix the squeak. They lubed all the bushings. I tried to stand with the car in the shop, the tech working on it told me no problem, but the service manager made me move. whatever. I've worked in bike shops before I'm not a fool.

After leaving it the squeak wasn't there but I hate people touching and driving it so much I'll fix it myself. Whats the story with the teflon tape? Anyone know/able to provide me a link? Search doesn't seem to find anything

yea i need to bend back my tabs lol...

BTW never jack up on your subframes i did it with a lift before (setting the flat parts on it) if the lift goes up uneven at all you can do some serious ******* up i just use behind where the fender blocks used to be and that thick part where the tow holes are in the back

I've heard stories (and seen pics) of corvettes falling off the lift at chevy dealers.
