insider Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 Have you checked in your manual? Pages 224 and 225 should give you all the information you need. Quote
Hornliden Posted October 19, 2010 Report Posted October 19, 2010 The diagram is not easy to read. Where do I exactly place the jack? Quote
seatkid Posted October 19, 2010 Report Posted October 19, 2010 NOOOOO!!!! Those are the jacking points for the vehicle's scissor jack! It is the sill lip and the sissor jack has a U shape piece that fits around it. If you use these points for a bottle jack or hydraulic etc then you will crush/tear the sill lips!! Look under the car and you will see substantial cross member box sections just behind the front wheels and in front of the rear wheels. IIRC the suspension is bolted to these. Jack up there - Use a pad / wooden block to spread the load and avoid damage to the underseal. Quote
