Can somone do me a favor and measure the distance between jack points on SWB w221.
HI Guys,

A little random I know. But I'm planning to buy a W221 (Short wheel base) some time in the future. I've recently acquired a ranger quickjack (as I do all of my own maintenance) and love it, but i'm doubting weather it is long enough to lift a w221.

Can someone get on their knees for me please :P And measure the distance between the front and rear jack points, pretty much where you would place your jack stands or where the car gets placed on a proper lift.

I would really appreciate it

Cheers

The distance between my jack points was definitely further when I was a younger man. Sadly, I've lost some distance as I've aged.

I'm happy for LWB measurements as well, probably shouldn't have put just SWB :P

I'm just looking to get a general measurement

Will this damage any of the underside plastic. I always asumed this was possibly as the chassis must run the whole length of the car but was worried i would damage something.
