Axle stand warning
Re: Axle stand warning
Errr...bit tricky to weld near airbags innit? Mind you, it'd be equally tricky to weld near Sharon Corr.
Re: Axle stand warning
Good point, but for general servicing and routine maintenance it works. Welding happens when the target vehicle has been laid on its side, in best hillbilly fashion, for access to the offending sections, no airbags involved. Sadly, no Sharon Cooorrrrrr either.

It must be, Terry. I have the tune on one of my Hayseed Dixie LPs. Toy Dolls did a passable version too.

Well, I hope she dances better than she welds! I mean, look at that - her mix is all to cock!
I have heard that the best material to support a car is high density foam blocks. These are apparently used by HGV mechanics, and it is impossible for them to suddenly "fail". They also don;t damage the underside of your car.
