Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Three Wheeler & Super 3 Rear Wheel Jacking Point

Just read the owners manual and I am confused. Could someone describe or better yet, post a picture where a floor jack would be placed to lift the rear wheel. I want to be able to insert a wheel dolly under the tires for the winter to make it easier to move around in the garage. Got to fit three cars in a two car garage.

Best points are centre of rear chassis beam (behind middle of number plate), hope that makes sense, and centre point of the cross head at the front (the tubular frame the front suspension fits onto. This means you will lift rear wheels up together and will not twist the chassis, followed by the front.

Is the last reply aimed at 4 wheeled cars?

It's best to lift the rear end up using jacks on both sides. A jack with a soft contact can be placed on the short chassis tube just behind the seats and near the side of the car. I would not do it myself without a jack on each side and gradually wind each up.

Yes it was aimed a 4 wheels. sorry my mistake

I have found that a smallish hydraulic jack placed under the chassis tube behind the seats and centered will do the trick nicely. I use a 3/4" thick pine board for the cushion. The clearance is very small so that a very low profile jack must be used. I had thought about sliding a 2X4" but that reduces the size of the jacks even more and I have yet to find one.

Putting a dolly under it is a good idea. I like it. That way I could re garage my regular car in the winter! Must take measurements!

Thanks, I looked under my car but I am still not sure on the proper method. Can you lift the rear wheel safely by placing the jack on the cross member of the rear swing arm ahead of the mud deflector?

That's the one! Happy trails!

Drive the M3W on the wheeldolly's ?

If one makes 3 small ramps what CAN''T slide on the floor, a little higher as the wheel dolly's. Put the dolly's behind the ramps, drive the M3W on the ramps and as soon it's on the dolly's you take the ramps away.

Thanks, made a wooden block to lower the rear jack point below the belt and make jack alignment easier. A low profile floor jack fits nicely under the body, but I had to keep the handle low and make small pumping strokes. Now it maneuvers around on the garage floor, 360 degrees, with just a light push. Also keeps the tires up off the floor when the other two cars bring snow into the garage and it melts. Had to practice while the weather is nice and not freezing. Three cars do fit in a two car garage considering one a is a Smart Car. Easy on and easy off - the weather is still nice for driving.
