The side jacking points on the last few cars I've had are under the sills,
there's always a seam there and if I use a block of wood with my trolley
jack the wood usually splits.
Should I forget the wood? Or use a harder wood? Or use a much thicker
piece
of soft wood? Or cut out a channel for the seam?
What do you guys (& gals) do?
If jacking under the sills, you're far better off using a thick piece of
rubber.
An old bit of conveyor belting is ideal, or a few layers of old rubber car
mats would do.
