anyone had this problem b4 with jacking car up

had a rear uncture today due to me being lazy and not replacing my rear trailing arm ( wheel been rubbing for a year now )

anyway i have a trolley jack which doesnt seem to jack car up high enough ( car is quite high off ground )

so jacked my car up and guess what my jacking point gave way and buckled under the car meaning there was no way i could change the wheel. had to wait for the traffic polis to drive by and a combination of 3 trolley jacks managed to lift car high enough to put spare wheel on which leads me to my next question

how do i jack it high enough to get wheel of to put original alloy on and change rear arm???


hear from u all soon
