Yes, it will help with weight on the wheel. I suggest you put 2-3 2x4 blocks under the tire, but you can also put a floor jack under the control arm.

Car is on jack stands and am wondering if weight should be on the wheels any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -- Frank Swygert Editor - American Motors Cars Magazine www.amc-mag.com _______________________________________________ AMC-list mailing list AMC-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://list.amc-list.com/listinfo.cgi/amc-list-amc-list.com
