Proper positioning of a floor jack and jack stands

[donogo]

Where do I place a floor jack when working on the rear wheels of a 1970 Dodge Challenger? In addition, where do I place jack-stands?

Thanks

It depends on what you are going to work on. Look in your factory service manual in the front of the servicing section, it will show you the jacking points. Don't have one ?

I have always jacked the rear by placing the jack under the center of the differential. Jack stands can be placed under the differential tubes near the leaf springs, under the leaf spring plates, or under the frame rails near the leaf spring eyes.

Hello Detroit Matt,

I just saw your message buried among the other Messages. It has a 440 with a raised dominator Holly carburetor. Have a good one.
