Can I safely lift the front of my 1990 325i up using the front subframe to put it on jack stands or do I risk bending something. I usually do one side at a time but always feel that the stands are going to topple doing the second side.

Thanks, I don't know how many times I have seen that but never noticed the green mark under the front cross member.

OK, but where should you lift both front wheels to adjust geometry for example?

Adjusting geometry should be done with all 4 wheels on a flat surface matepaultv wrote:OK, but where should you lift both front wheels to adjust geometry for example?
