All cars are "marked" with a cut in the whatever it's called.

Oh... didn't realize you were using the emergency jack... like Polak said... just look on the frame towards the tire... you should see the reinforced looking section with 2 notches on it...

yep, and those points are only ok for the jack that came with your car, otherwise , with a floorjack you better use the cross member up front (or the one in back i forget where) or your crushing the lip... Or you can use an adapter that emulates kind of a slip to fit inside the claw of the floor jack, so it will grab the side even...


I had crushed mine up a bit, and learned this the hard way : /
