A rubbery/sticky goo? Just grab a spray can of rubberized undercoating (or truck bed liner) at AutoZone....it's nasty stuff, but it does the trick. Good luck

Jacks, jack stands, where do I put them? --> jack pointers inside. - Andy_TN 2003-04-07 20:06:56 (21452 views)

crap.....I put them in the wrong place!!! - oldyellar 2005-05-20 11:41:32 (581 views)

You should submit this as a FAQ. - scott12v@pghaudi 2003-04-08 05:11:18 (996 views)

Excellent pointer - MikekiM 2003-04-07 21:40:00 (1195 views)

The rocker panels have arrows on them pointing where as to place the jack as well - Pourboire(Pizzicato) 2003-04-07 20:50:27 (1279 views)

...for the factory jack. I wouldn't place a floor jack in the same spot (ON the pinch weld). - Andy_TN 2003-04-07 21:01:54 (1319 views)

just to the inside of it - Pourboire(Pizzicato) 2003-04-07 21:14:18 (1045 views)

yup, but i use this to go over the spot welds - Greyhound Guy 2003-04-07 20:17:50 (1958 views)

Best spot for jackstands IMHO is where the DTS attaches. - markbradford 2003-04-07 20:12:33 (1645 views)

Sure, that works too....I like this spot because it's easy to reach, works fine. - Andy_TN 2003-04-07 20:22:04 (1028 views)

Ya it's more difficult to get to for sure. And you've got to use smaller jackstands or get car HIGH - markbradford 2003-04-07 20:25:27 (1122 views)

Mark, can you point out where this PAD area is? - DigitalA4+ 2003-04-08 04:08:29 (1093 views)

Low, square, flat area that does have a hole in it yes. - markbradford 2003-04-08 05:41:15 (1187 views)

Cool thanks. I think in the pic, that's where Andy had his rear jack stands placed (last pic). - DigitalA4+ 2003-04-08 05:45:58 (880 views)

And yeah, the pad where Andy has his rear jack stand is the area I'm talking about. - markbradford 2003-04-08 07:15:09 (839 views)

Can I use rhino ramps during my DTS install or will it get in the way? - DigitalA4+ 2003-04-08 07:48:07 (1331 views)

Rhinos will be OK for sure. I can't get up on them tho. =( - markbradford 2003-04-08 07:52:49 (859 views)

Barely... - DigitalA4+ 2003-04-08 08:01:12 (660 views)

No I mean - will you be able to get your body under the car with enough room to work? - markbradford 2003-04-08 08:09:16 (683 views)

I see what you mean. - DigitalA4+ 2003-04-08 08:12:06 (679 views)

I go all the way underneath. - markbradford 2003-04-08 08:21:11 (586 views)

You could always use a little creativity to get onto the ramps....if needed. - Andy_TN 2003-04-08 08:04:37 (709 views)

Thanks. I need to do that now to get on some lifts. :-) - DigitalA4+ 2003-04-08 08:13:39 (580 views)

Heh. Once you've got the DTS in it's even easier. - markbradford 2003-04-08 07:13:20 (862 views)

Sweet. Thanks again. - DigitalA4+ 2003-04-08 07:46:03 (520 views)

Oh I hear ya on the pinch welds, that's why I've oriented as such. - Andy_TN 2003-04-07 20:34:39 (1129 views)

Are you concerned about ruining the undercoating there? - markbradford 2003-04-07 20:37:43 (698 views)

What's that undercoating made of? I got a chunk taken out earlier this week driving into a parking - CMC 2003-04-07 21:21:20 (933 views)

Rubber? - Andy_TN 2003-04-07 21:31:14 (866 views)

Cool... thanks Andy!!! =) - CMC 2003-04-07 21:39:51 (699 views)

sometimes also known as undercoating. - Greyhound Guy 2003-04-07 22:02:59 (765 views)

Nahh....no winters down here ;-) - Andy_TN 2003-04-07 20:41:23 (701 views)
