Axle stand points

[kevfal0]

Hi all,
I am going to replace front wishbone and rear arm bushings on my 2016 alhambra. Can anyone advise on the recommended axle stand locations to complete this job. Was going to jack up using the rear bushing and rear axle but was looking for the safest place to locate the axle stands.

Thank in advance
Kev

One plan would be to fabricate some adaptor pads for your axle stands so that they could be located at the 4 jacking strong points on the sills - ie spreading the load along the strengthened areas and so minimise any damage to these areas on the sills, I have been doing that for years, just make sure that you apply something like Waxoyl to these areas in case you have damaged the protection while doing this. I always intend to be supporting the load on the adjacent flat inner and outer areas of sill and not below the folded welded seams.
