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 |

QUOTE (AndyJ @ Dec 6 2005, 11:51) I have an overhead lift. Apparently what happened this last time was the lift pads were placed on the rubber pads behind both front wheels. For some reason it moved the front fender to the point the door now catches the fender when it is opened with a loud POP. I thought I was OK lifing at the rubber pad locations but evidently not. Andy I don't think the rubber pads are same place I'm talking about. The place where I put the jack is just inboard of these rubber pads. I think the rubber pads cover a area where the front fender bolts onto the floor pan, which is why your fender got pushed out of alignment. At some point, GM did away with the rubber pads and you can see where the fender bolts on. My wifes '93 has them, but my '01 does not. At any rate, it is not a place to lift the car by, even though it looks like it would be. If you do the front breather mod and do away with the air deflector, it is real easy to roll a floor jack under the K-member. |
