Hi all,

I seem to remember a thread recently about the correct lifting locations for a 4th gen car -- but I can't find it.

Lifted my '96 recently and now I have to re-align the driver's fender--which sucks.

Thanks in advance,

Andy

In the front and the back of the car there's 4 flat areas that I assume are the subframe mounts that the subframe connectors connect to. The rears are distinguished by the LCAs being bolted off of them, and all 4 have the oval "tow-hook" holes. I always use these to lift the car and I also use them to tie the car down when I tow it (using GM "R" hooks).

I've used the black "pad" you describe in the front to jack with a floor jack without issues. Best to stay away from them when using a lift, though.

My problem exactly-- used the black rubber pads in the old shop with a floor jack.

Moved into the new digs with the fancy equipment and screwed my car up.

I know the locations you are talking about. I don't think my '96 has the rear tow slots however.
