Floor jack question

Hi,

Would this work alright on a Chevy Caprice? I need to take the tension off my front sway bar, so I can replace one of the endlinks. I thought I would use jackstands right behind the tire-changing jack points on the frame. I would jack up one side, place a floor jack right behind the jack connection, lower the car onto the jackstand, then do the same for the other side. Is this where jack stands normally get placed? Would that be stable?

Thanks

Thanks for your great question.

I would not put the floor jack where the car jack goes. My car is a front wheel drive unibody (no frame). I put the jack stands under the box reinforcement on the body, the thing that looks like a frame. It supports the front end okay and has not bent the metal at all. They are plenty far enough apart to provide wide stable support. Before getting under the car grab it and give it a good shake to make sure it's stablle. One thing I learned about floor jack stands. Some are too big to fit under small cars. I bought the first pair second hand and found they were too big.
