Jacking points Where are the lifting points and placement of floor stands

A jack lifts the vehicle wheel off the road.
A brace removes the wheel nuts, not the jack.

This info is probably for a floor jack. As far as that scissor-jack that it shows in your owners manual, I'd have to look for the placement. Be safe. There are safety issues when raising and supporting a vehicle. Safety is your responsibility. Use quality jack stands

place the trolley jack under the front cross member . (The big bit that connects the side frames under the sump). Lift as high as possible and place the jack stands under the chassis ( moulded rails ) where the sub-frame meets . Then place the trolley jack under the rear diff and lift as high as possible Place the jack stands under the chassis at the front of the springs or track rods By using these positions you will have the cabin securely jacked up with all the wheels free to remove or to work on. Before going under try rocking the vehicle hard to ensure that it will not move off the stands.

If you are JUST changing the muffler , I would suggest you take it your friends house ( you know , the friend who has a lift in his garage , and possibly a coin operated beer dispensor?).
Get it up on the lift (a safty minded placement of a jack and a well placed jack stand would do too ).
Sawzall the pipe imediately in front and behind the exhisting muffler.
Remove the old and replace with the new ... use new clamps... old ones ****!
Take down from the hoist/ramp/jack and stands...
Drive to the cop shop and get that 3 day taken care of.

Hi,

The lifting point for your car would be in the inner side of the running board.

There are metal hard points where you put the jack lifter, by using your finger , you will notice the bulge on the 4 ends of the running board. Usually near the wheel.

hope that helps your lifting!

thanks for using Fixa!

The best place to try and lift is on the lower control arm as close to the tire as you can get the jack. If you are going to be working under the car then be sure to use a jack stand or some blocking to supprt the car in addition to the jack. If you are outside on the ground then be sure to place a piece of plywood under the jack stands. This prevents them from sinking.
If you want to lift the entire front end jack one side at a time and block it as you go. Do it in stages until you get the height you want. If one side is too high then the car will slide sideways as you jack the other side up. This is one of the reasons I prefer blocking to jack stands. Hope this helps.

I use exactly the same the jacking points as I would use with the factory scissor jack. They are reinforced to handle the load. You'll find these point marked with triangle stamped into the rail and in your owner's manual.

Lifting

The following instructions must be carried out before raising the vehicle off the ground.

• Use a solid level ground surface.
• Apply hand brake.
• Select 'P' on automatic gearbox selector.

Note: If the propeller shafts are to be removed, reference must be made to the relevant operation. To avoid damage occurring to the under body components of the vehicle the following jacking procedures must be adhered to.

DO NOT POSITION JACKS OR AXLE STANDS UNDER THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS:

• Body structure other than approved jacking points
• Bumpers
• Fuel lines
• Fuel tank
• Brake lines
• Front or rear suspension arms
• Transfer box
• Steering linkage
• Front or rear differential units
• Engine sump
• Automatic gearbox

NOTE: For certain repair operations, it may be necessary to support the engine under the sump. In this case, a block of hardwood or a rubber block should be positioned on the jack lifting cup to protect sump. Vehicle jack
The jack provided with the vehicle is only intended for use in an emergency, for changing a tyre. DO NOT use the jack for any other purpose. Refer to Owner's Handbook for vehicle jack location points and procedure. Never work under a vehicle supported solely by the vehicle jack.

Hydraulic jack
A hydraulic jack with a minimum 1500 kg, (3,300 lbs) load capacity must be used.

WARNING: Do not commence work on the underside of the vehicle until suitable axle stands have been placed in their correct position. Always chock the wheels when jacking. The handbrake may be ineffective when the wheels are off the ground. Raising and supporting the vehicle
To assist in raising the vehicle, jacking points are provided as shown in the following illustrations.

Raising the front of the vehicle
Apply handbrake, select 'P' on automatic gearbox selector and chock rear wheels.
Axle stand positions - front

Raise vehicle to enable axle stands to be positioned under, either, the front sub-frame, or the recommended customer jacking points.

CAUTION: Place a piece of hardwood or a rubber block between each axle stand and the jacking point to avoid damaging the body / component. If the propeller shafts are to be removed, select NEUTRAL in the main gearbox.
Carefully lower jack until vehicle sits securely on axle stands.

WARNING: Always support the vehicle on axle stands when using a jack.
Before commencing work on underside of vehicle re-check security of vehicle on stands.

Reverse procedure when removing vehicle from stands.

Raising the rear of the vehicle
Select 'P' on automatic gearbox selector and chock front wheels.

WARNING: Always chock the front wheels when jacking the rear of the vehicle.
Axle stand positions - rear

Raise rear of vehicle to enable axle stands to be positioned under the rear sub-frame. Alternatively, the axle stands may be positioned under, either, the recommended customer jacking points or the front mounting points of the rear sub-frame.

CAUTION: Place a piece of hardwood or a rubber block between each axle stand and the jacking point to avoid damaging the body / component. If any damage occurs to the washers on the front mounting points of the rear sub-frame, then the washers must be replaced. Carefully lower jack until vehicle sits securely on axle stands.

WARNING: Always support the vehicle on axle stands when using a jack. Before commencing work on underside of vehicle re-check security of vehicle on stands.

Reverse procedure when removing vehicle from stands.

Wheel-free lift
The following warning must be read before attempting to lift the vehicle.

WARNING: The vehicle cannot be supported safely in a wheel-free condition using the wheel-free facility of a four post ramp, and under no circumstances must this method be employedA wheel free condition may only be achieved on a four post ramp by raising each end of the vehicle and positioning axle stands beneath the recommended customer jacking points.

CAUTION: Place a piece of hardwood or a rubber block between each axle stand and the jacking point to avoid damaging any components. If the propeller shafts are to be removed, select NEUTRAL in the main gearbox. WARNING: The front and rear suspension lower arms must NOT be used as lifting / jacking points. Alternatively, support the vehicle on an approved two post lift with the arms of the lift beneath the recommended customer jacking points.

CAUTION: Place a piece of hardwood or a rubber block between the lifting equipment and the jacking points to avoid damaging any components. If the propeller shafts are to be removed, select NEUTRAL in the main gearbox.

I would use floor jacks and jack it up from the back as high as it will go and then set jack stands under it. Its front will drive so you dont have to worry about it rolling just make sure its in park and if its standard make sure its in gear. Be good to block the front wheels also.

u can do it yourself if u have some experience, u will need jack stands and floor jack heavy breaker bar and tape measure. u jack truck up until tires in the air support frame with jack stands and then jack axle loosen blolts and lift axle up/ down til u can pull bolys out put in new spring retighten measure both sides to common point to make sure axle is staright then do other side when done remeasure adjust if needed
