Jack positions
Hello all.....interested in knowing the best placement spots for a jack, other than the 4 listed in the owners manual, to raise the front &/or rear end to lift both tires at once....all the work I've done only required my ramps....doing a brake job and needless to say my ramps won't work............Thanks

Do you have jack stands? I wouldn't be without them. You only need to lift one corner at a time, put the stand under it, and then lift the second corner. Plus - you need both wheels off the ground for a brake job? You can only work on one wheel at a time.

How about the rear end pumpkin or the crossmember on the front end?
drive it up on ramps and look around, you can see where it is sturdy.
also, I use a rubber hockey puck in the center of my jack so there is never metal to metal contact.

Have you guys seen a stand with the rubber attachment? I would invest on it, time to check mazon.

I also take off both wheels when doing a brake job for the first time just so I have something other than a picture to reference in case I mix something up :+).
I like the idea of a hockey puck, I have just been using a wooden block.
