Jacking points for a 48 TC

Post by JeffMoore64 » Tue Aug 16, 2016 11:10 am

Good afternoon,

What are the correct lift points for placing my TC up on jack stands? I'd need one jack point ofr front and rear and then the correct place to put each jack stand so I can get under there and work.

Thanks,

Jeff

I jack the front on the axle, making sure the jack wheels are free to move as the car goes up/down. The axle stands go on the chassis rail just in front of the brake master cylinder. Or you can put them under the front spring shackles.

The rear is jacked up on the rear cross member (under the spare wheel). Stands go under the shackles aor under the chassis rail.

Just make sure the jack will move in and out when raised and lowered.

Many people also jack at rear under the diff center. A block of wood with a hole cut out to protect the drain plug is a good idea.

I do the same as Norman on the front. Agree with Duncan on the rear, I use the differential. Less likely to bend or crack a weld.
