Long Story Short
Dumbass son took my ride for joy ride
beatdown kid
hit large dip obviously going way to fast
beat him again
front rims cracked-both tires now flat
beat him again
trashed lower front oil cooler
now he flinches whenever i enter the room, so i smack him
car has been sitting for long period of time and all four corners are slammed.

3-4 weeks ago I topped off oil and started car, compressor pumped up the suspension.
Removed lower oil cooler. Ordered a new one.
Today- unbox oil cooler to get ready to install and the car is so slammed i can't install oil cooler, can't any type of jack under car to jack it up.
Anyone have any ideas? Anyone know how to engage compressor without starting engine, jacking up the car or removing tires?
Need help asap, he is begging you to help me as I will continue to beat him until we get it fixed!

Before anyone calls Child Protective Services I only ask you to help me first. I miss my beast more than I will miss my kid..J/K
Thanks!!!!!

Back up on a two by four and than Jack up and safety with Jack stand .... Be careful with the oil fittings use back up wrenches..... teach your son, spend time with him and have fun.... People fųck shįt up all the time.... Then they fix it...good luck. oh yeah and our cars are equipped with the center jacking point right in the front so you can try to maneuver all over whether you use the front jacking points or the sides..

Perfect idea, if that is still not enough to get the jack on that center point in the front, then put two 2x4 behind the first 2x4 and bring it up some more. regardless it appears there is more wrong than just the oil cooler at this point. Hey simple but might do something--- unplug battery for a bit then reconnect. Might reset the suspension and it might work. Just a little idea. Remember make sure you have your radio code handy or you will be locked out of that.

Is it just the front or is it the whole car that is slammed?

Use the OEM jack to lift high enough to get a floor jack in front,,, kinda sucks but you gotta be glad he did not get hurt until you could beat him senseless,,,,

Anyone with a STAR equipped laptop in your area? They car probably hook it up and run the air suspension compressor to pump up the air bags?

Edit: Without starting engine.....turn the key to the second stop right before you can start.
Wait for it, wait for it , wait for it.... On second thoughts, go beat up your son senseless one more time in the meantime.
Should air back up

Thanks guys for all you input.
2X4 won't work as the car is slammed on all four corners and the front tieres are flat due to cracked wheels. I can't get oem jack or anything else under the car. I looked last night and the exhause is on the ground.
I don't know anyone with STAR in my area.
Last night at 2:00 am I had an idea slap me in the face. I think I can access both pipes that conect to the oil cooler, so I am going to try to fasten a hose between them with hose clamps, top of oil and start the engine. Anyone have any idea how much pressure I will be dealing with?

guessing but 60 psi worst case,,, idle @ 15-20ish

if the wheels are cracked and bad...can you get a jack on the rim to at least lift a bit...then get 2 x 4 underneath?

turn car on(not engine) it primes the airmatic pump, and you can control it that way. Just opening my door with keyless go and pretty sure the car gets ready to be driven. otherwise put the tow hook in place, maybe raise it that way?

Lee6082

Thank for all the ideas guys!! I a few options. I will post an update.
The kid is grateful as well..lol He just hates waking up in the morning, however he is getting up earlier and leaves for school before I am out the shower.
He is actually a great kid, his biggest problem is that he's MY kid I remember sneeking out my dads car a few times. Very happy he and his friend are safe and I can justify new wheels.

cant you get a scissor jack from a toyota they are thin enough to raise the car a bit to get another jack under

I have a low profile jack just for this. If you don't have access to a low pro jack I would suggest using a engine hoist? Attach the hoist to the tow hook, and raise it enough to get the jack under the car?
Parenting - Its not easy.
I let my son make a pass at the track (while I was there) He thought he was going to get a better et than me lol.

Kompressese- didn't we think we could drive better than our fathers at that age?

When I finally grew up I learned I wasn't infallible, not as smart as I thought I was, my parents weren't as dumb as I thought they were and somehow my pecker got smaller than i remembered in high school. lol

One thing I'll give him is when it comes to the electronics on these new cars he blows me away. He has no problem digging into the ecu (on his car) he does well with changing the files and this is only a hobby for him. - He's into the Audi's.

Kompressede, I host a charity poker run for charity every year... I bet you and your son would have a good time on it. We have had a lot of Father son teams in the past

kompressede

Tell me about it ?
I was going to say PM me, but I think its a good idea to let more people know about a charity event
