Who knows how to use Jack stands with 458

Most of America has either been asleep or celebrating the Superbowl since your first post so your second comes across as not very friendly

There are several previous threads if you search this section on 'jack' eg https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/458-jack-points-for-basic-car-jack-not-a-lift.508553/ & https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/jacking-up-a-458.403640/page-2 - if they do not help try yourself looking at the others

 

I use ramps for low-profile vehicles using 2"x10"s. Very secure.

 

Hi
I have used jack stands on my 488 and put them under the rear hubs. If you have a look at a thread I started a couple of weeks back about plugging the Exhaust valves on a 488 you will see some pictures of my car on jack stands at the rear.

I haven't put the front on jack stands but I would do the same put them under the front hub.

So basically
Jack the car up using the points underneath where the factory lift the cars from 1 corner at a time
Jack stands under the hub 1 at a time
I also left a couple of heavy duty toolboxes under each chassis rail as a safety measure not touching the chassis but as a back up. In the old days we used to slide the car wheel under as a back up, but not with these expensive rims!!

Regards

The 458 have a full pan and the cut out areas are where you would pickup with a lift. Might want to look into race ramps

 

Four of those are under our cars.

The dealer also uses the "holes" when lifting to secure the car from moving ...

I'll second the race ramps. As long as you don't need the wheels off, race ramps are great. Just jack the car up and place them under all 4 wheels. Normally, if you are doing something which requires removing the wheels/tires, then you can leave the floor jacks in place usually.

 

Thread resurrection!

I'm looking to lift my 458 on my scissor lift. Looking at those front lift points, they seem to be recessed with respect to the undertray panel. If I place a hockey puck over the threaded part, having first removed that black bung, will I not be at risk of damaging the undertray? I did wonder if there are any screw-in bushes anywhere but couldn't find any. At the rear I was going to use the large indented section which is further rearward than the rear jacking point - I just need to find something suitable to use as a puck looks to be too small
