Humber FV1611(A)

[fv1620]

Wayne it takes a bit of getting used to when you first jack up a Humber because of the independent suspension on each wheel station.

If you put the jack under the outer part of the suspension arm as you try to jack up the wheel, it stays put & that side of the rear axle goes down.

If you jack up from the inner arm or diff guard, then as it goes up the wheel station keeps drooping down.

What I do is place a couple of shortened railway sleepers on top of each other under the diff guard, then jack up from the outer part of the suspension arm.

I prefer railways sleepers to a jack or an axle stand is that should there be some movement of the vehicle, it is not going to topple off the jack/axle stand.

I always prefer a screw jack to a hydraulic one if I'm going underneath. Not just because you don't have to worry if the fluid screw is not fully in & it is going down slowly, but generally a decent screw jack will have a broader base than a bottle & less likely to topple.

I think a couple of years ago I posted a picture on one of the Humber threads on here.
