Re: lowered front end and jacking?

["tmpintnl" <tobyp@xxxx>]

Andy - My car (Winged1) is lower than most I've seen, and I am able 
to just slide a Craftsman floor "trolley" jack under the front 
jacking points. I usually have to lift just a little using my knee 
against the wheel arch, or a 2 X 4 lever between the floor and the 
underbody, while sliding the trolley jack into position. That gets 
me another inch or so to fit the jack. I don't know if I am just 
misunderstanding you, but it sounds like you jack on the frame, 
rather than the designed jacking points on the fiberglass underbody. 
I personally wouldn't recommend that. I am assuming that the metal 
jacking pads are securely installed on the underbody. Jacking on the 
frame can cause flexing of the sheet metal webs, and cracking of the 
epoxy, unless you hit a hard spot and provide protection between the 
jack and the frame. If you're using the proper jacking points, 
please ignore the preceeding lecture.
