I need the wheels to hang freely, so instead of the a-arms where should i put jack stands.

Read a thread to jack it up from the cross member under the engine?

 

i use the subframes as a jacking point and a place to put the stands

 

Thats where the sheet metal points down along both sides the car correct? Obviously you dont do it in the middle of the car but yea

 

Put your floor jack under the center of the K-member, which is the big piece you see up under there in between the exhaust and the steering linkage. Put your stands just in front of the big holes in this pic, which is just behind and inboard of the tires.

 

are you talking about where I put the black circles?

 

thats where i put my stands

 

Yup, that be the place...

 

the same with the rear . remember the only stupid/dumb question is the one that is not asked . good luck .

 

Thanks a lot.

I screwed myself...

While trying to remove the pump(taking brackets with it) I stripped the last nut . Its behind the pump in like a little pocket.

What should I do? So friggin frustrated
