In the rear, I like to use the mounting point for the trailing arms, at the chassis, for the jack stands. You can use the rear diff. casting for the trolley jack. In the front, I use the heavy frame members next to the transmission, where it curves down. Do not go too far rearward, past the first welds, where the heavy framing becomes lighter. You can also jack at these points if you like. You can also use the front main sub-frame cross-member (center) for lifting both front wheels with your jack, but be careful not to include the center tie rod or oil pan! Lifting or jack-standing, each front side directly under the front coil springs is safe also. Use adequate protection if you are concerned about nicking the paint. Storing the wheels and tires under the car while working on it will give you an extra layer of safety if something slips! Our "Tech Manual" has illustrated photos of safe jacking points.
