RE: Jacking up my car

The other day I jacked up my car in front with the floor jack right in between the two front tires, is that ok too? Also, can't you jack up the back with the jack in the middle of the rear axle?

It's called a wheel chock, not wheel chalk.

Ya both ways are fine...Just be careful in the front like I said above the jack tends to want to slip on the front cause the K- frame isnt very flat

Please tell me that you didn't jack the car up with the oil pan. There really isn't anywhere safe inbetween the front tires to jack. Use a frame rail.

The rear is fine to use the axle housing.
