Ferrari 575 Resting points on axle stands.

[paulqv]

I put my 575 into a wheel refurb specialist to refurb the wheels for me. I checked threads on here and spoke to a long term Ferrari mechanic who told me the same as I have read on the threads:
Remove the cover under the front of the car and use the two chassis weld points ; at the back use the two triangular areas near the gearbox. I explained this very carefully to the worker who was to jack up the car.

Here are photos of what he has done.

At the front he has used the suspension arms. At the back the jacking points. The worker never reverted to me to ask if this would be ok.

Normally if trying to support a car using the point under the dampers would be a safe bet. However, if the advice is to the job X way, then I assume that the advice is based on some concern or past experience as to why it should be done X way.

Any views on this? Any past experiences?

I have a view. I would never let my daily driver be jacked like that, never mind something with expensive aluminium suspension that I wanted to drive straight thereafter.

Take them off yourself to fit anything else when you send them off for refurb or get your specialist to do it.

Back to specialist for a check and geo.
