As far as i can gather, there is noting suitable for the rear except the jacking points

...to keep it dead center to evenly distribute the weight between N/S and O/S bolts on the subframe. Place an axle stand on the front jacking points just behind the front wheels. If you are working on and older van it’s worth inspecting the subframe first, along with the jacking points. Rear...

Not really, as you would need to jack it again to remove them and lower onto the stands..

Sorry to cause any confusion. for this thread yes this is just jacking so I've got enough time to put an axle stand in.

For reference, if it helps at all, if not sorry! my T6 Ocean with VW Sportline 30mm springs fitted measured as follows: Front wheel centre to arch 40.5 Front sill by jacking point to floor 23 Rear sil jacking point to floor 27 Rear wheel centre to arch 41 18” alloys with 255/45 tyres However...

I recently jacked up my van on the arm directly under the spring ( god knows what its called) and placed axle stands on the proper jacking points. I did this after a google search took me to a haynes manual online video, where this is what they suggested. Although it was on a t4 assumed it would...

I was just making the stickers, as we all know there are 2 jacking points in that location. Talking of which, the "sill" one for the factory half jack, no longer fits now I have the sidebars. I have just purchased a cheap motorised 2T scissor jack that I'm hoping will fit on the propper jacking...

It is a pity that the bars can not be used to jack off from. Most of them appear to be a bit on superficial side and not up to doing very much.

Where did you hear that? In 30 years I have never had a problem with the jacking points on cars. Only Citroëns I thought may bend but never did

I had similar experience 4 years ago so I binned the locking wheel bolts and replaced with OE wheel bolts. No regrets.

Just a word of warning for those with aftermarket alloys and wheel bolts . (could have been costly and caused a lot of heartache.) Took my van (which is fitted with 20 inch alloys) to Costco for new tires, dropped it off and left them along with the Tuner McGard locking wheel bolt tool and...

Oh yes, got the hi-viz and the warning triangle under the passenger seat with the jack. In the tool pouch I have a couple meters of duct tape wrapped around a credit card to save space. :thumbsup: Great point about customs, thanks, I hadn’t considered that. That particular Leatherman has a “UK...

To get the pattern right you need to use both sets of adjuster screws there's one for up and down and one for in and out plus with the LEDs the twist is there to get the light to bounce off the reflectors at the correct angle to give a light output. Brighter bulbs won't do jack if the alignment...

I guess the issue is that most modern cars jack up using the sill seam as this is the strongest point, and used by the jack in the spare wheel kit. Ian

When you say "known" vehicle what do you mean? Thicko here....as for history dont know as yet...still making my mind up whether to make the jump...

Also be aware of the minumum saddle height if you have a lowered van, regular trolley jacks may not go low enough to get under the jacking points, you may need a low saddle height jack, or be prepared to roll the van onto some blocks to get it high enough to get the jack under it. (and remember...

I'm a moron when it comes to car mechanical stuff but they look dodgy even to me. That said, I suppose they could work as a temporary / additional support while taking the jack out and replacing it with an axle stand (using the jacking points of course). Does that make sense?

Yep, fair point, I did think that after I'd posted.

Can anyone confirm if there is a suitable central jacking point at the rear to get the rear of the van on axel stands?

Rite... Removing all 4 wheels for powdercoat. I know where to jack it up from using the dedicated points but how do I then get it onto the axle stands to remove the Jack. Is there anywhere front and back suitable for the axle stand so sit? Scratching my head here. I've looked at other...
