I read through many of the old posts for about an hour, but I'd just like to get more answer to be sure.

I've lifted the car many times and have used the stock jacking points to place my jack stands.

BUT, I want to know other places to put them SAFELY. I'm going to change my manual tranny oil very soon...so where should I place the pair of jack stands I have?

I need specific locations, and if possible, pics. I just don't want anything to go wrong.

thanks

 

Looking under the bottom of the car. You'll see a ridge along the outside. Right behind the front tire there's a notch in the ridge. That's the stock jack point. I put my jack stands just inside of that notch. I believe there is one in the back as well. Once you get the car off the ground and on jack stands give it a good shake to make sure it stays put. I think this is in the owners manual as well.

amazing how this works.. http://forums.maxima.org/search.php?...der=descending

 

I use the stock jack points for jack stands as well.

 

I think DMB mentioned it once, but i use pieces of wood between the jacks and the car (so i don't put any dings under there)

 

Can someone take pictures on how the stock jack points are used with jack stands? I just don't see how you can use those tabs for support. Forgive me if I am an idiot.

 

I just said I read old posts for about an hour. And a few weeks ago I read more for about the same time.

I told you that no one was specific enough. All I found where places to jack the car, not place the jackstands.

I've seen many install pics with jackstands NOT uder the stock jack points. It was somewhere in the front suspension, closer to the center of the car. I think in my searching someone said the hinge point of the control arms, but I'm not sure.
