This may have been asked before, but could someone post photos of safe jacking areas on volvo 480? For trolley jack / Axle stands, i know not to use flat belly pan areas and been using safe structural places near the sills for the moment...
thanks !

subframe , rear axle
Re: Safe Jacking points / axle stands
if using rear axle put stands DIRECTLY below the spring mounts, as close as possible to wheels. If you put in-board then might damage cross tube as it is NOT designed to carry a load !glasgowjim wrote:subframe , rear axle

Re: Safe Jacking points / axle stands
thanks for the tips, i did read the first comment and had it a bit away from the spring mounts on rear axle, but i also had the middle jacked up as well, wasn't the subframe, nor the floor pan, just a reinforced part of chassis ( crossmember ? ) I had to put it there to get clearance changing mid section of exhaust, and piping leading to the rear silencer.
