yep, i read that post too - that central 'jacking point' deforms if used as it's only an indent to locate the real jacking point that lies behind it. for that reason i wouldnt trust it - preferring to go down to a diy garage and put it on a ramp/pit.sk93 said:
I believe you need the jack puck to use this correctly.. but it's been a LONG time since I've jacked up the front, so get some other memebers to confirm my memory on this... as I also remember some discussion about this being lightweight alloy and not a jack point.
I'm confusing myself...

i also read somewhere here that jacking the back up as far as you can then putting an axle stand under the raised front jacking point is the safest method. havent tried it but curious to find out....
That reminds me; I need to get an undertray installed...! :lol:Roundozo said:Chris_D said:yep, i read that post too - that central 'jacking point' deforms if used as it's only an indent to locate the real jacking point that lies behind it. for that reason i wouldnt trust it - preferring to go down to a diy garage and put it on a ramp/pit.sk93 said:

I used the "central jacking point" the first time I needed the car up however it deformed slightly so I've not done it again. I now use the above mentioned method. Jack the rear side jacking points and lift the car high enough to put axle stands under the front side jacking points. Works well.
