well lads,
was wondering if someone could show me with a picture all the possible points where i can put axle stands under an ek4? just want to be sure :) :thanks:
 
I don't have a picture but the jacking points are pretty clear to see. If you look under the sideskirts/sills there's 4 jacking points (2 each side), each one look like a small metal bar about 4 inches long. They stick out so you can't really miss them.

Yeah wishbone / lower control arm same thing really. You can put it under there near the ball joint or where the fork mounts to it , only thing is placing them there compresses the suspension .

If you can find the bracket where it clamps the big bush on the wishbone , beside the anti roll bar , that is a better area.

Cant find a decent pic to show you
