    Thank you so much! I have literally watched a dozen videos and this one nailed it. Straight forward!

    Another very informative video, didn't know we had those jacking points too. Much safer and more convenient indeed.
    You should've showed where exactly we have to put the jack stands too... For example if you jack up the rear on the rear of the frame rail, where exactly would you put the jack stands?

    Wondering the same thing about the jack stand position. Great advice!

    Straight to the point and practically done with great shots of the jack points

    It is also possible to jack up the car from the rear, and center your jack on the differential, if you have a lowered car which makes it hard to fit a jack on the sides. For the front, it's a bit harder so I'd recommend maybe just driving up on some slabs of wood to allow adequate space for the jack to get under the car.

    Where do you put the Jack stands on 2017 mx5 club

  • @allanclewer6394

    Why not use the rear diff and front cross frame as lift points….solid as a rock, then place your jack stands where you placed the hydraulic jack for security? That way you’re lifting two wheels off at a time….both front wheels (front cross frame) and both rear wheels (rear diff)

    • @ali94hn
      @ali94hn Рік тому +1

      rear diff yeah, but the front cross frame is quite far in, so unless you have a low profile jack and have your car situated on some wooden slabs to lift it a bit, you'll have a hard time reaching it.

    Can you use the frame rails when using a 2 post lift?
    Not that the rockers or pinch welds are rusty but I prefer to avoid damaging them

    • @MiataMan
      @MiataMan  Рік тому +2

      Yes. Just be sure to put the pucks under the reinforced ends of the frame rails.

      I can’t remember exactly what the NC looks like underneath, but it should be very similar.

      Where do you position your jack stands? Same spots as the floor jack?

    • @MiataMan
      @MiataMan  4 роки тому

      David Abrameto I positioned the jack stand under the front sub frame.

    I don't like scissor jacks either, even though the car came with one.

    I would not recommend using a single jackstand as appears to be the case in this video.

      The axle stand is actually on the subframe.

    • @jonnyware9061
      @jonnyware9061 2 роки тому

      ​@@MiataMan at the beginning of the clip it doesn't look like the axel stand is touching anything. Was it resting on the subframe then? I really need to know where to position axel stands on the rear too please!

      Why? Doesn't it protect it from rust isn't that the whole idea?
