Question about jack points

[johnhjohn]

Am I looking at the diagram correctly that shows jacking points for the front on the back side of the crossmember, which appears to be aluminum, at the point where there are 2 holes? I was wanting to floor jack from there and put the stands at the notch points behind the wheels. Is that right?

Just want to be sure because the diagram is pretty small.

Thanks in advance.

depends what you'll be working on... but that sounds right...

I'm getting ready to pull the tranny pan, but was concerned that the crossmember was what I am looking at from the diagram from the manual.

Thanks!

I know what you meant but, my inner child took over for a minute.

I just want to confirm that where this arrow is pointing, is in fact the jack point.

Also, Is it OK to Jack from the notch behind the wheel and place the stands at those points on the crossmember? My Jack will not get to those points to be able to jack from there and put the stands at the notch. (hope I made sense, but basically opposite of of OP)

honestly (and some may disagree) you can lift or rest on just about any solid part of the chassis. some spots are better than others. and im starting a huge debate. but you do not need to be this picky about it... Find a nice solid surface, that wont be in your way...

Legally speaking, refer to your owner's manual and follow the manufacturer guidance.

Regardless of what point is used, be careful, go slow, and watch for deflection.
