So I had the car up on jack stands last night, swapping back in my stock brake pads & rotors. I was walking by and accidentally hit one of the jack stands with my foot and noticed it moved. "WTF?!" I said to myself as I bent down to check. The car was not touching one of the jack stands, and yes, they are all at the same height on a mostly level surface. (Any of you geeks out there are probably not too surprised since kinematics dictate that any planar surface can only touch at 3 points, since that is the very definition of a plane, assuming we are talking about a rigid body ofcourse). Damn the 86 chasis is rigid!
