Hi,
I'm planning on jacking up my leon estate to paint the calipers and am aiming to do the front and then the rear axle by placing jack stands on the sills with rubber protectors to prevent any damage marks. To raise the front axle I can only see underneath the car the piece of metal surrounding and including the dogbone mount. Is it safe to use a jack with wood and raise the car slightly on that so I can place jack stands under the front sills? And for the rear as it's the 184 with independent suspension, raise at the same time both control arms with two jacks together and then put two jacks stands under the rear sills?
Just thought I'd ask as I don't want to cause any damage.
Thanks
