What happens if you raise up a Porsche Boxster?
Keep in mind that if you raise up the rear of the car, the emergency brake no longer works (it works only on the two rearmost wheels of the car). If you place the car in park (automatic transmissions), it will only lock the rear wheels as well.
How tall is the Porsche Boxster floor jack?
With a minimum height of only 80mm (3.1″), the jack will easily fit under any of my lowered Porsches. On the other end, the jack has an unusually high lift of 735mm (29″) that enables you to raise your car up onto floor jacks in one swift motion.
Where is the best place to jack up a Boxster?
Jacking up the rear of the car can be easy: if you have a long-reach jack. My preferred spot is the rear suspension mounting point: it attaches the suspension to the chassis and is very strong. Avoid lifting the car using any part of the engine. Place your jack stands under the standard factory lift points (shown in Figure 3 ).
Can you lift a Boxster off the ground?
About one third of all tasks that you need to perform on your Boxster require it to be raised off of the ground. Simple enough for the experienced mechanic, the procedure of lifting a 3000-lbs car can be a bit unnerving for the amateur.
