Ray13/60 Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Hi everyone, I'm a newish herald owner and am starting to plan an overhaul of suspension and will need to leave the car on stands for a month or so, while I squeeze the work in around life. I have noticed that when I jack the rear end up there is a lot of wheel tuck. Is this anything for me to be concerned about - can I leave the car indefinitely, with the wheels like this, or do I need to learn a different way of lifting the car off the ground, cheers, ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 No, that's the way they go when lifted up off the road. They'll settle down to a normal angle once lowered back down and moved slightly forward or backwards. My GT6 has been up off the ground for the last month or so, maybe more, and won't suffer any harm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Lindsay Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Only when they first touch the ground and the wheels stay that way! Moving the car forward or backwards gets them back to normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daverclasper Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Funnily enough, this week a guy came over to chat about my Vit. He used to be a welder and said the first time he jacked one up, was oh s..., what have I done. Didn't feel any better when he lowered it.

Pete Lewis Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 years back when they were a common family car we went to a wedding in ipswich parked up easy after the do the carpark was jammed with cars as big footy match think it was ipswich and totenham a group of us had to bounce a load of cars around to clear a route out .....one being a herald when we left the car 20yds from where it was parked with the back end miles up in the air , bet the owner was just a bit puzzled we escaped to the booze up , never to return.
