Boxster On Jack Stands?

[SC986]

I want to replace my pads and rotors. When I do this this I want to redo my calipers as the clear coat is peeling. I might not have time the time to complete this in one session.

To keep from taking the wheels on and off, would it be ok (with a high quality set ) to leave the Boxster on Jack stands for a few days?

Sure. It's perfectly safe to leave it up for as long as you need to, provided you've placed the stands in proper locations.

Hi,

Not a problem. I had my Boxster on Jackstands for more than 2 weeks as I removed, painted and reinstalled the Calipers, installed new Pads, flushed the Brake Fluid, drained the Tiptronic, replaced the Filter, Gasket, Fluid, and cleaned the Radiators (in-between living Life).

No ill effects whatever. Just make sure you have the car as level (and consequently an equal amount of weight on each Jackstand) as possible.

If longer, I would Saran Wrap the Shock Piston Shafts to protect them from Dirt, Debris, and Corrosion as a portion of them is not normally exposed and could damage the seals when re-inserted. If lifted for an extended period, I might also support the struts to keep from stressing the Bushings in areas thay normally are not. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

i had mine on jackstands for a few days when i was doing my wheels, as i dont have an extra set of wheels, its ok as long as you place the jackstands in a secure place.

Thanks guys, figured as much but just wanted to ask the experts since I'm new to the Boxster.

Do any of you guys have any pics of how exactly your seating the jacking points on your jack stands?
