Re: Poor fit of IPD/TME Strut brace - Problem solved S70 2000

posted by  someone claiming to be Ted on  Tue Apr 3 14:52 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I used a heavy duty floor jack. I jacked it up using the rear engine cross-member using a block of wood between the jack and the car. That's the location where I jack up my 240 and seemed to work fine. I had to put the car up ramps first to make room for the jack and block of wood.

The more recommended location to jack up the front is the front engine cross member just ahead of the oil pan. This didn't appear so solid to me, but apparently it's the place. If you jack here, you may not need to put the car on ramps first. Depends on your jack and the wood.
