Default For rear under lower trailing arms just slighty to the front of the springs and for the front...

right in the area where the lower control arm attaches to car undercarriage.

Front jact stand spots

Default How the heck do you keep the underbody so clean? ...

Pressure washer? Do I actually see tire gloss on the INSIDE of the tire? Do you take your wheels off to detail the insides? All I can say is, WOW, that is dedication.
