Jacking Point and Jack Stands

[Jessey Dearing]

Jacked up my front end today to replace the upper ball joints. Put jack stands where I believe they should go based on the workshop manuals, but it looks like one side bent in a little bit. Am I completely misunderstanding where to put the jack stands? I have a 91 L300 Super Exceed.

That's the right place... just looks like it wasn't centered in the cup/on the plate.

Ahh thanks. Looking at it closer I should have turned the jack stands 90degrees so the weight is on the two curved points instead of the thin unsupported metal tabs that bent.

Glad you posted this. I would have assumed as you did. Because then the jack would"slot" in. If rotated 90 degrees, then that looks less stable.
