W123 where I place my jack stands on the car
blankenship PMed me about where I place the jack stands while working on the car.
I have the 6 ton and 12 ton jack stands from Harbor Freight as well as the long reach jack that can raise the car up to 33 inches off the ground. Right now the 300D is up on the jackstands. So here are the locations I place them. The front are under the box frames that are under the driver and passengers feet. The rears are under the subframe mounts. When working on the subframes I place them under the trailing arms. I jack the car using the front cross member under the engine and either the differential or subframe point in the rear. Dave PS These locations are the same for all W123's. The sedan, coupe or wagon.
