A bit of a strange request really. Axle Stand Points???

[monte]

I guess what I am after ideally is a photo of a Gti from underneath showing all the areas that it is possible to place axle stands.

I know, I know, they are Axle stands and they should go on the axles, but I remember the last time I took 2 wheels off at a time to give them a real good clean/wax, I was confused as to where to put the stands  
I ended up placing the stand under the sill/jacking point, but it was tricky. I had to place the jack on the jacking point, but it was right on the edge, so I could get the stand in when it was jacked up.

I will be taking both front wheels off soon to paint the new front calipers! I just want to be safe.

I use the rear wishbone mount on the front of the car, haven't had one on the back yet. If that helps?

Sorry if I sound a dumbass but, Have you got a photo?

Thanks Gulf   Ive been searching high and low for an Underneath photo of the MK5 Gti.

Is this where you meant Tony?

[tony_danza]

Yes, thems the ones!

You really shouldn't use two sets of axle stands like that to lift all four wheels off the ground - it's pretty dangerous!

But I agree, for jacking the front, the rear wishbone mounts.

Thanks Animal, yeah, I'll only be doin the front
