Drivetrain What's the best way to get 4 jack stands under a Mini?
I was down at the Grand Am 250 in Miami a couple of weeks ago and saw the Nuzzo Mini and Sterling Mini go at it. Great fun!
I noticed they both had an interesting jack set up.
They have some way of jacking up the front of their cars by putting the jack dead center in the front and a couple of pumps later the front is up and jack stands in place. Nuzzo's set-up can also do the same at the rear.
Nuzzo's car has a steel bar hanging down in the back (where our stock exhaust tips are), that fits the race jack. I can't see where his exhaust pipes exit.
So my question is; What is the best way to get my stock Mini up on four jack stands?
I have a racing jack and have had one side of the car up but the suspension on the down side makes an awful complaining noise (creaking like hell) as I'm going up.
Makes me way uncomfortable, as I feel the suspension isn't designed to take that angle I would imagine.
Any better ways, or suggestions, for front or rear jack points that will raise both fronts or both rears at the same time?
