jacking up car...

Where do you jack up your car in the front? When I use a floor jack I end up bending the little thing where they say to jack it up.

The proper jacking point is under the front crossmember. If you're jacking it up from the side, cut a slot in a square piece of 2x4 to put between the jack and the rocker panel. That way the lip fits into the slot and doesn't get bent.

Owners manual
Haynes manual

All cover jacking and support points, and they should be the first place you look for info like this.

How do you get 200+ posts and not know how to jack up a car. I used to gauge the knowledge of a poster by the number of posts he has (don't trust a guy with 3 posts who says it doesn't matter what order the spark plug wires go). Now my world is turned upside down.
