I've got jackstands just havent put the car on em yet. It usually sits anyway and the PSI is just fine in the tires so I havent bothered to put it on stands yet. Anyway I was looking and have no clue where I'd put jack stands. Anyone got a diagram or actual photos of where they put theirs?

 

Have a look at post #13 of this thread...

If your pinch welds are still solid then place them there, if not you can place them on the subframe underneath the car

 

Read the owners manual

 

You don't need to store the car on jack stands. That's with old tire technology, you can just increase the PSI a touch to account for fluctuation.

 

For the most part, that statement is accurate but radial tires can still develop flat spots - especially performance and low profile tires made from a soft rubber compound that contains a large amount of nylon. The good thing is that flat spots in radial tires will usually dissipate after a few miles.

 

You should never store a car with the struts unloaded.... pump up the pressure of the tires to minimize the risk of flat spots and put it on carpet to absorb moisture if that's an issue.

 

Yep, which is why I prefer placing jack stands under the A arms and axle tube.

 

Mine only has struts in the rear...so supporting mines a no brainer...
I have cartridges in the front...Which is equally a no brainer...
With a 5th gen its kinda self explanatory...

Old school we'd just use cinder blocks under the control arms of each corner...Loosen the lugs.....Let the air out of the tires....Jerk the wheels and tires off hubs...and WALLA...automatic jack stands!
