Yea, yea, i'm kinda embarrassed to ask this question. I guess i'm used to working on trucks that have tons of lift points to place a jack under.

The other day i was going to rotate my tires. Went to slide the floor jack under to put the car on jack stands and i ended up laying there for a while wondering exactly where the lift points are on this car? There appears to be a couple of "flat" spots near where the frame should be, but at the same time either the frame is hidden or it's a unibody design?

So what are the best spots to jack this car up from? I don't want to crush rockers or stress out body parts.

theres 4 pinch welds on each corner like any other car. you can also jack it up from the rear subframe (right behind Diff) and the front crossmember (behind oil pan).

If you have a floor jack that has the groove in it to accommodate the pinch weld, then by all means, use it. If you do not, all you're going to do is push the pinch weld and mash it against the hull.

I've marked down safe places in red on the underside on the jack points. The rear is tricky, but any point where you can access the suspension points that are on the chassis. DO NOT USE ANY OF THE SUSPENSION RODS AS A JACKPOINT. I don't like using the differential either, just my preference.

Front engine crossmember is good to go.

Thanks for the replies and the pic!!! Looks like i at least guessed correctly on the front side points.
