At what poinit on your car do you place your jack to lift your car so that the whole front end is up? my car is lowered so i drive up on 2x4's to give me enough space to get the jack under my car. but then where do i jack it up from?? thanks in advance for info.

underneath the driver's side and passenger side door there are 2 longer parts of the underneath of your car.... they're reinforced for the jack. they're right behind the front tires. you jack it up there.

But that only lifts that side of the car, what if i want the whole front end up?

hmmmm.... you could use 2 jacks one on each side.... it might be able to lift it up enough. ???

lift one side up, put it on a jack stand, lift the other side up, put it on a jack stand, there you have it, front end lifted

You can easily hook the jack up underneath the tow hook. That is the recommended place to put the jack. And it lifts the whole front end up at once.

this'll probably make me sound really stupid, but where is the tow hook??

look underneath the car. in the center. It is a loop in the back. In the front there will be an arrow pointing to a plate that sticks out from the plastic trim piece.

This is what i do, and i have to drive up on wood also.

sometimes i lift the car up as much as i can than i push the jack in with my knee....(my back! )

for jacking up the front of the car (this is best if using a floor jack), underneath the radiator fan, on the chassis, you will see an arrow pointing to the center part of the frame. this is also a jack point.

Since the jacking points are only wide enough for the jack, do you jack on the jack point and then put the jack stand next to the jack point or do you jack next to the jack point and put the jack stand on the jack point?

Both ways seem to work but it seems like that section under my car is just a little bent (probably the molding bending a bit), so I'm just curious.

The section under the car isn't bent, that's just the plastic shroud underneath the car getting pushed a little ouit of the way.

This is how i've jacked my car up, it worked fine for me.... much easier than trying to fit the jack under the non re-inforced area's...

i try jacking ym car up on those reinforced flat areas on teh sides, but my friggin side skirts cover the spots up. i tried jacking it up farther down teh side and it got up like a foot over my rim and it was still on the floor and i just lowered it cuz i thought my car was gonna get messed up or something

JUST USE the front mounting point... if you can't get a jack under there... then, go buy a lower profile floor jack.
