Striker front jacking points

Postby Jester » Sun Apr 28, 2024 11:54 pm

I have owed the Striker a few years now & this weekend I looking at thinking
Where is it safest place to jack the front of the Striker from.
I have got the back sorted.
The back axle the same as the Jester's Ive got
But as the Striker has no engine/Gearbox cradle to jack safely from like the Jester's front wheel drive setup from a Mk1 Fiesta
& the Striker being rear wheel drive Mk2 Escort based where is the safe place to jack from

Thanks in advance

I have a Fury, but always jack below a vertical. Normally the one behind the wishbone.

The car probably isn't heavy enough to bend the box section but it's safer to jack from a node rather than the midspan of a member.
