Is there a proper way to jack up the A5 onto jackstands? I was planning to bleed my brakes yesterday, but I couldn't figure out how to safely jack up the car onto jack stands. Did some research and found we're pretty much limited to the pinch welds (which isn't much room in the first place), and there seems to be scattered information with mixed agreement on what points can and can't be jacked up from.
Research has lead me to:
Does anyone know if there is a proper way and if there is a centralized point on the front and rear to jack up the whole car?
Thanks!
Research has lead me to:
- Jack up off the LCA, but I see mixed agreement on this
- Use the scissor jack or a smaller jack at the pinch weld, so that you can squeeze in a jack stand. Don't have a small jack and using the scissor jack on all 4 corners seems ridiculous.
- Rear diff, I did this on my WRX and do this with my 4runner. Apparently on the Audi's they're not designed to hold the whole weight of the car???
- Center of rear subframe - yet again, mixed agreement on whether its strong/safe enough to jack the car up from.
Does anyone know if there is a proper way and if there is a centralized point on the front and rear to jack up the whole car?
Thanks!
