Garage chassis table

How do you know the jack stands are all the same too? You have to check everything or start with a perfect zero reference point somewhere.

If the floor is not level but very flat the car will measure up close and the measurments will be in the same plane even if it isn't level.

Get a laser level and measure the floor at your jack points and shim them till they are level and then mark the floor and number each set, you now will have a working point to start when you put the car up in the air. Now you can go around and check the car to the laser and see what's going on.


An 1/8 in. is really nothing to worry about, lots of cars were out that much when made.
