Safe axle stand points on an SL 55 r230?

[laurensparsons]

Hi, I know that you jack on the rubber mounts, however for the 4x wheel refurb, it needs to be dropped onto axle stands, therefore can't use the rubber jack points as the jack will be on them to lift it, where can one use axle stands on these cars safety please?

thanks Laurie

Hi , I don't know the R230 , but on other Mercs there is usually a solid looking chassis beam a foot or so inboard of the jacking points .

I have also in the past either jacked or placed axle stands under the wishbones as close as possible to the wheels - taking care that it sits securely and does not risk damage to anything .

On my cars with towbars , I have sometimes used the towbar bracket as a lifting point .
