RE: Jack Stands and Stupidity

[Peter Henriksen <peterhe@microsoft.com>]

As I remember, I use a hydraulic jack as well and use the "inboard" jack
points, i.e., the round ones that fit the cup on the jack. I put jack
stands under the jack points intended for the stock jack that comes with
car.

Of course, my feeble, not-enough-coffee-yet memory might be confused,
but that's what it's coming up with.
