How long can I let my Yaris sit before risking damage? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Pretty sure I read that you should not store cars on jack stands as the suspension components are supposed to be under load and will not take being without load very well. Also, you're not going to flat spot your tires in that short amount of time. I used to let my FR-S sit for long periods of time. Never had and flat spots.

I agree. I've seen how the inner lower control arm bushing looks with the wheels hanging. Stretched pretty badly. Not pretty. I normally try to work on my car with the wheels on blocks; car supported by the suspension.
