LIFTING
Lifting can be accomplished without adapters when
using a drive-on hoist or with a twin-post type hoist
by making contact with front suspension lower con
t r o l arms and rear wheels. Since there is a bolted
on stub frame in front and welded side r a i l s at the
rear, the car may also be lifted at the points i l l u s
trated in Fig. 2 - 7 . Proper adapters must be used
to prevent damage to the various parts of the under
body. Caution should be exercised so as not to nick
the rear springs.
