Whats the best way to get car on all 4 axle stands. No need to state the obvious(jack it up) Posted by OBSSD (Member # 1258) on :
Easiest way for me: 1 - Drive the front onto ramps 2 - Use a floor jack under the diff housing to lift the rear...support it with jackstands. 3 - Use the floor jack to lift the front off the ramps by the K-member...support it with jackstands.
Voila

I have subframe connectors (as do you).
I jack it "Nascar" pit stop style. If I want it really high, I do it in 2 stages. If I want the axle on stands I jack it after the car is on stands.

Duuhhh... Does that mean you jack it using the subframe connectors as lift point near the load center from the sides?

You can lift it from there, but I usually don't.
Don't want to scratch off the powder coating!

I'm going to need to do this soon. I'm guessing from the posts here that clearance for a floor jack is an issue in the front? I'm so used to trucks and old cars that I'm feeling a bit paranoid about jacking-up the Hawk. Oh, does anyone know the factory torque spec for the lugs? (the possibility of warping the rotors from over torqueing is something I wan't to avoid)

lugnuts are 100 lbs-ft per the Camaro service manual. Don't see why it wouldn't be for the Poncho wheels either. That's pretty much a standard with bevels and aluminum wheels.

Yes, that's the torque spec. It is listed in the owners manual as well. Most of the torque specs are in there.
