Those pinch seams look exactly the same as on my jbody, I've never had problems jacking from them with a stock jack or a floor jack as long as the lifting pod was centered on the seam. For the rear I have used the torsion axle to life, never had any problems... cobalts axle looks similar but hard to tell if it's as beefy.

Yes, old thread... but I never seen where the magic arrow is in any of these pics.
I used my trunk jack that came with the car and is slightly damaged the pinch weld strip which upsets me greatly.
I looked for arrows and I too just see painted over body filler and a long metal tab.
Anyone got a definitive pic of this arrow?
Of all the things, I had a flat tire yesterday and I did look for an arrow as shown on the jack, and when I could not find it I assumed it was just an arrow pointing me to placing the jack under that pinch welded tab. It fit perfect, unfortunately it slightly bent it.

Ok here are the points I am using. 90% of the time I am only jacking up the front half. The arrows are for the STOCK weenie jack only, a floor jack might damage the body if you use those positions.
The spot I use with a floor jack to get it off the ground. (front)
Here is the spot I put the jack stand once it's in the air with the floor jack. I put the jack stand under the black metal frame. Right under where the A arm connects. (front)
The spot I use with a floor jack to get it off the ground. (Back)
OR in the middle of the that bar, with just a floor jack to get boot sides in the air with one jack (probably dangerous, but I just use it to rotate the tires.
I usually don't use jack stands in the rear since I am not working under that half.

i've yet to find anyone who still makes a subframe connector for these cars... and from what i can tell, they need it... and hopefully they'll be in line with the rest of the car world at like 150-200 a set and NOT 500 a set...
