Hello all, I need to gey my Mk2 Golf into position to work on, ideally I want to jack the rear on the centre of the beam and pull it round. Whats the possibility of damaging / bending the beam and has anyone else tried it?. Cheers, Keith.
I know its not a mk2 but ive jacked my various mk 1,s there for the past 30 years, and other hot hatch,s ive owned..
I regularly do it but like others have said you run the risk of bending the beam. I was thinking of making a bracket to spread the load across the beam using some steel C section which the beam could also sit in preventing the jack from slipping. Anything to spread the load should massively reduce the risk of damage.
