Title: New Front Tyres Soon - Best Jacking Point Please?
Post by: Juliand on October 20, 2018, 10:28:03 am

I'll be needing a new set of fronts soon, and after reading some posts about damage caused by incorrect jacking (like aluminium gearbox etc), I want to make sure that this doesn't happen by inappropriate trolley jacking by the tyre fitters when they do the job, so, whereabouts should they be jacking up from, please?

Cheers :happy2:

Just the normal sides or the suspension arm
