I decided to paint my bottlecaps black today.

I jacked up the car put it on jackstands and it fell off. Luckily I was working on the grass and didnt do no harm except jacking it from the rear tow hook which slip and the jack went thru the back bumper FML!

Then after all that work the rear springs came unsettle while driving and tore of the rubber boots in the axel. even GAYER.

So just post up what u did today or yesterday.

Wow. Doesn't sound like you should be working on cars. At all.

And there is already a thread dedicated to this.

I couldnt find it but no its been muggy lately and the grass/dirt is really soft. The jackstands went about 6" to the ground.

This has to be a joke.

I can't understand your third "paragraph." What does "came unsettle" mean? How could rear springs possibly tear the half-shaft boots?

[Rennsport]

You didn't stop and think that it would be a bad idea to put jack stands under your car on soft ground?

Just sounds like a little common sense could of saved your rear bumper and your wheels from being purple.

[ThaiRacer]

unsettle like they weren't where they are suppose to be, it came off from the little torpedo thingy.

And I have no where else to work on the car, I dont have a concrete driveway. My whole yard is grass/dirt.

I'm guessing when the car fell off the jacks the home-cut rear springs were knocked off the perch? then somehow the sharp edge of the spring tore the rubber after it shot out?

[ThaiRacer]

I guess, but the rear springs are tanabe. not cut.

where did you put the jackstands... how did it fall off them?


i must know ... i need to do this tomorrow.

[ThaiRacer]

I put one under the differential and one under the front where the jacking point is.

[bwanac]

Two jacks held the car up with no wheels?

[ThaiRacer]

I had the car with 2 wheels off
