Checking Spindles

[mr.utility at highstream.net (David Utley)]

I know that is the function of the mentioned bit on the body, but putting 
stands under those makes it a bit more wobbly in my experience.  The control 
arm mounts, agreed are not intended as jacking point, but I think that would 
be the strongest point to put a stand under other than the afore mentioned 
bit...  Not to mention, it is much more stable on a stand at the rear of the 
control arm...

My .02, interested who else has change?  :-)
