A how to jack up your car post? because i see this question all the time. If there is one can someone give me the link? if not i'll make a how to myself just to be nice. ;-) Someone asked me this question because they have seen my pics in my extreme makeover while i was changing my rear axle, But i havent yet jacked up the front of the car so i might as well take pics of how thats done and make a guide. ;-)

 

I havent seen one yet but correct me if im wrong
But im pretty sure you figured that you jack it up by pinch weld or axles areas
And your a bobyman im guessing so you would know how it done

I think it would be a good how to because some people are stupid and crush something and theyll be saying f**k after they jack it up by oil pan ....LOL

 

You need to be careful on those welds cause they will fold over! I like to jack the rear up by the axle and the front by either the frame rails under the engine or the unibody frame rails under the front seat floor boards. Always look for good strong spots with no fuel lines around!

 

everytime ive jacked up my car to change the oil, ive always used the frame rails.

 

Do some people really have problems with this? How have they made it this far in life.

 

lol Yes i agree, i mean its easy to jack up a car but some people get confused with a floor jack. They are used to their little dinky spare tire jacks. Anyways if nobody knows of a how to by the end of the week i'll make one with pictures next time i work on my balt.

 

there are little arrows on the side skirts and thats the place where you put the jack (thats in the trunk)

 

The arrows are only for the supplied scissor jack in the trunk.

While using a typical hydrolic floor jack:

For lifting the front many of the AZ guys, myself included, us the engine subframe. It's the black bar with a flat spot just behind the radiator.

For the rear I put the jack just under the shock absorber mounts.

 

x2, then i put jackstands to the left and to the right of the jack on the frame then get the damn jack out of my way.
