Leaving FF on axle stands.

Going to get the wheels powder coated.
I can't get my mitts on a spare set of wheels, so would it be ok to leave the motor on heavy duty axle stands for a couple of days?
I'm not happy about it, but I've no alternative at the moment

I would think no problems as mine was on axle stands for a couple of weeks recently when I worked on it.
I would suggest when you have got your wheels back on drive fairly slowly for a couple of minutes
for the suspension to reset itself.
Mine sorted itself out with no warning bongs so it should be ok for you as well .

It should be fine but make sure it's supported under the structural chassis and not any of the suspension components. 2021 D350 Fifty Edition - Carpathian Grey

Had mine shot blasted and powder coated (all over, not just the faces) in satin black, £40 each.

Bought five goodyear tyres with delivery mileage on them from a forum member on a bike forum i belong to, taken off a brand new land rover because the owner preferred a different brand of tyre and didn't want the originals back. .

Chucked in the back of the RR.

Shouldn’t be a problem if you carefully position them. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Why? When the car is on it's wheels, it is supported on its suspension components.

I'd put the axle stands under the suspension - if you don't you're going to have to lift the car very high to remove the wheels and the suspension will be left hanging. Ron B. VK2OTC

I agree that having an axle stand under a roll bar or lower wishbone would be fine for changing a wheel or working on one corner for a few hours, but I wouldn't want to have all 4 corners supported that way for several days. 2021 D350 Fifty Edition - Carpathian Grey
