I need to put my car up on jackstands, where is the best place to jack the car with a floor jack?

Where are people putting the jack stands, at the stock jack points?

 

Yeah the stock jack points. If you look under the car just behind and to the left of the stock jack points, there are these big bolts inside what looks like metal rails. I use that spot to raise the car.

 

Make sure you place the jack stands on the pinch welds where the factory jack should go.

You can raise the car with a floor jack by jacking up the front end from the center engine cradle support beam. Then jack up the rear using the center of the rear beam.

 

The 4 circles in the middle are the jack stand points. The "garage jack points" are used to jack up the front or rear.

 

sweet. thanks for the info and diagram.

 

njmaxseltd, that's a cool dash kit. where did you get it?

 

Using the beam near the front of the car will give you about 1" less of clearance than using the points I mentioned. Tried it yesterday.

 

anyone got a pix of the front center jack point?
Is it the hump that looks like it is made to fit in the cup of a roll under jack?
Hump is rearward of the two bolts?

 

my friend puts his jack stands under his control arms on his corrado. last time i used the jack points, i'm thinking of using the control arms next time though, since it looks like the jack stands were made to be used there. anyone else do the same?
