Ahh, I wish I had a post like this available today! I never had to jack up a unibody, I'm an idiot. And I looked down there for a good half and hour but didn't find anything safe to put the jack on. This topic should be made a sticky.

lol. Good post though.

 

there is a frame behind the front tires and in the back right in front of the lower control arms and they are very visable

 

Yep, good places to put the jack. I never use the lamo 'Under the door frame body moulding notch' that is shown for spare tire changes. [:'(]

Add: I dont' agree with supporting the car by the rear axle though.

 

Use the oil pan [8D]









noobs - NEVER use the oil pan. i was kidding.

 

i jack up from the ft k mem. and the rear end housing...for jack stands ..the rear axle ,,the ft ...the ft frame rail or under the ft lower control arms..

 

Exactly, everyone knows you jack it up from the oil filter or the rack and pinion..sheesh![8D]









noobs - NEVER use the oil filter or rack and pinion. i was kidding. also

 

On this picture, the lower two arros point to positions. Are those rails solid or hollow? If you jack up there 10 inches, am I gonna mess up anything?

 

That's actually the frame of the car. They are hollow but it does not damage them to put the jack or jack stands there. I usually put the jack or stands just behind or over the first hole (closest to the engine). Any further back, you could bend your floor pan or to have the car improperly balanced to work under.

 

if i ever have to jack up the rear of the car i use eather the frame or the rear end and for the front i just the frame once again
