Best places to put the jacks

[REdOX]

Anyone know where the best/safest points are for putting the jacks to keep your car raised?

That's what the manual says, but they look kind of weak. I put mine under the two protuding "ribs" of the car.

My sincere hope is that you are using jacks to raise the car, but using jack stands to keep the car up! It is UNSAFE to work on a vehicle supported by a jack.

These jack / jack stand placements work well with my equipment. Please ensure that acceptable, secure locations are used before working on a raised vehicle.

The front jack is placed under the crossmember, directly behind the plastic panels. The front jack stands are placed on the frame rails.

The rear jack is under the rear crossmember, right behind the muffler. The rear jack stands are placed on the rear suspension mounting brackets, in front of the rear wheels.

Thank-you.. that's exactly what I was looking for. And what I meant to say was jack stands. I didn't have the right wording in my original post.

Thanks!

Got any pictures of these spots? If you want to put the whole car on 4 jack stands, is there an order you should go in to keep it from getting unsteady?

Thanks
