Thanks for bumping an old thread. I've always wondered the same thing. I know where to jack the car up. It's the two notches on the pinch weld at each corner. However, I just don't know where to position the jack stands for extra safety. I know someone said on the hinge of the control arm and while I know where the lower control arm is, I just don't know exactly where you're supposed to put the jack stand without screwing things up. Can someone post a picture of the exact spot or spots? Thanks.

I'll be changing my oil this weekend. I'll be sure to get some pictures posted for you if someone hasn't beat me to the punch.

If you watch the video above, you will see how to jack the car up from the center front/rear. Then you can locate your jack stands at the 4 notched jacking points on the rocker panels.
