[Mgs] MG related - Sort Of

[Dave]

I totally disagree.  I always pull at the car to ensure stability when I 
have it on 2 or 4 stands.  but if they are on concrete, well positioned, and 
relatively level, they are *safe*

there is always danger when working on cars.  think safety!

A car raised on four axle stands (are they the same as jack stands?) is
*very* dangerous, it is relatively easy to pull the car over as their base
is usually quite a bit smaller than their height in use.  Only ever use two
jack stands with two short ramps (short of full length ramps or a lift).
