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 |

Best to lift the car by the diff and the k-member with a jack. Cars are a lot less likely to bend longways than they are torsionally. Just drive the car on some 2x4's and getting a jack under there is no problem.
Why put undue stress on the car when you can lift in a better place and get two wheels up instead of just one? Don't believe me? Try opening your door when the car is jacked up on one corner. Even with SFC's, it won't open or close as smoothly as when on the ground.... A lift is a different situation, because you are lifting all four corners together and don't induce a lot of useless twisting. |
