I typically don't trust jacks or jack stands so whenever I put a car up in the air I have a minimum of two floor jacks holding it up, at least 4 jack stands and I block the car everywhere possible without being in the way, using nice solid blocks of wood, and on some occasions huge paver stones under tires that arent off.

What you need to do is not put the jack where the 1 front fender bolt is, cuz thats where it looks like u put it ... if u do that, itll either push your fender in, or pull it out. Jack it up a little past it and ur set.

Agreed. F-bodies have the weakest jack points I've ever seen. When I bought mine, I noticed the driver side front fender was a little pushed out on the top...no big deal, lossened the blot by the windshield and pushed it back. But then the next time I was under my car, I see the bracket from the fender where it bolts to the bracket on the frame is completely bent up, like this...

The "true" jack point is just beyond this bracket. The bracket should be down with the blots pointing toward the pipe. My guess the previous owner jacked it up wrong, or when it was put on a lift it happened.

i think just about every fourth gen i ever see has the fender poped out at the bottom like that my passenger side on the 98 was like that.

GrandmasterCow 05-30-2006 01:13 PM

mines like that too

Tru2Chevy 05-30-2006 01:33 PM

My '87 was like that when I got it. It's pretty much fixed now though...
