where to lift (just to confirm) <<PICS
I just want to confirm where I should be jacking up my car. The little pictures with the round guy dont help much. there are a bunch of pics in the folder, some of where I have it jacked at the back right now (is that ok?) and then jsut some random pics of the front bc im not exactly sure where the crossmember is... if someone could jsut use paint and outline where the correct places are thatd be awesome thanks!
Pics here

I suck at posting pics, but I'd move the jackstands in the rear to those circle things in front of each wheel. Jack the front up by the center of the big metal crossmember bar just in front of the oil pan in the center, then put jackstands on the frame rails towards the front on each side. I hope that made sense.

what about for a central point though? its annoying having to ajck up either side. but the back ones are right? the big flat beam that goes accross?
edit: and hows the underside of my car look? im replacing thr cats and headers with rb products so no need to worry about them.. anything under there look shotty?

I know that icemark, but thanks.
the little white man doesnt not point out a specific point where to put the jack, only a geberal area. there are many places to put a jack where you shouldnt so i was just makin sure. ever tried jamming a jack into your oil pan? yeah me neither but yhis way nobody ever will :P

Jack positions are all exactly correct in those diagrams.
Maybe you are confusing a jacking location with a safety stand position (two different things- you do not jack up the car at a safety stand location).

most people do not use the stock jack to jack up the car, unless you have a jack with a U groove specifically for jacking up these types of cars they will crush the rails(the rails i refer to as pinch bars where the body is welded together about 3 inches from the outside edge of the body). so i do not suggest jacking at those points unless you are very careful. (reference is picture 6 and 7)
their pictures of jacking up the car by the crossmember and differential, hmmm, i wasn't able to get my jack to those points even when it was stock height.
