Lift Points for Hydraulic jacks

Well I just bought one a couple days back cuz it's a lot easier to use than the stock ones, but can anyone tell me where to position this to lift the front and rear wheels.

Thanks...

Use the factory jack points.

You can use the main support beam up front under the engine to lift the whole front end up.

You can also use the rear beam to get a rear wheel off the ground without lifting the chassis.

I used to use the factory jack points too, they just got all crumpled after so much usage.... What I do now is place the cradle directly BEHIND the factor jack point - towards the middle of the car - that point is still reinforced. The best way though is how tom said it... use the motor support beam...

As I said in an earlier post...do NOT use the "beams" that run up and the length of the car or you will be very sorry. My floor pan is totally crushed because I thought those "beams" were supportive enough.

Do yourself a favor and use the ones njmaxseltd suggested.
