i jacked up my '04 mach 1 this morning using a floor jack and jack stands. i wanted to jack it up and get underneath and familiarize myself with everything. i couldn't get the `doughnut-like' area beneath the springs to rest comfortably in the cradle of the jack stand. sorry, all, i'll learn the proper terminology as i go along -- is that the lower control arm that the spring rests in?
anyway, i did my best to take some pix. the side i had problems with is on the driver's side:
also, the arrow (sorry, my digital editing capabilities are limited) indicates my interpretation of one of the spots where i can locate a floor jack to lift her up. does this seem reasonable? the reason i ask is that the floor jack seems to have dented slightly the part where it made contact (you may not be able to appreciate the dents from the pic, but they are there; they are very small).
any thoughts?
thanks,
