today, i brought my truck(95 Ford ranger 4x4) up to my high school's Autoshop (proud Auto 1 and 2 graduate myself) to simply get the tires rotated, so i go out there to see how they are doing and i wanted to make sure they put all the jackstands in the right places and jacked it up the right way and stuff, because ya know its my truck and there is OTHER people working on it...it makes me nervous. Anyways the rear jackstand placement was fine, but i did'nt like the way the front was sitting...they put the stands under the radius arms(i think thats what they are called) so the wheight of the truck was on these two rad. arms, i was pissed. But im not sure if i have the right to be pissed, could putting jackstands in these areas bend, break, or warp the rad. arms? I looked at them after the truck was done and they look ok, not dented, or bent or anything. So i dont know, could someone tell me?
