Before you all verbally rape me, I searched and found this...

"They're the little metal tabs on either side of the vehicle, on the inside of the wheel wells."

This seems to be the most beneficial response since I am only changing the tires, and only need one wheel jacked at a time. My question is, is there a metal tab on the inside of all 4 wheel wells? If so, any clearer identifications on the "metal tab"? I'm sure I will see it, just didnt look for it yet.

 

yes, all four. they are by the sideskirts, 1 behind each front wheel, and 1 in front of each rear wheel. can't miss em.

you also have the rear tow hook and front jack point under the rad support.

 

look under your car
you'll see

nah, not just you. They're tiny, and I feel odd about jacking on them, but, apparantly, it's what we're suppossed to do.

 

there is a also a arrow where you are suppose to place the jack. just look for it closely

 

and dont jack it from the oil pan

lol! same here...i actually feel better about it now that i know i wasn't the only one with this concern...in the helms it looks like they have little attachments. do those exist, or is it just the way the drew it?

 

Thanks for the help guys! Damn this board is helpful.

 

Is there a middle jack point to lift the entire side of the car? I mean if you want to gt both driver side wheels off the ground, but only have one jack?

Don't think so. I've only seen the 4 that LSvtec03 mentioned. I think it's because 3 tires firmly on the ground is much more stable than 2.

And no, don't jack it up by the oil pan.

 

since those tabs are so small where are we supposed to put jack stands if the jack takes up the whole tab??

 

Lol...jacking up on oil pan is teh funny. Try it.
All kidding aside, don't do it.

 

you jack up by the reinforced point in the front bumper or the hook in the rear

I didn't know that and I ended up jacking by the bottom of the car...needless to say that plastic dented

Yes and no.

No, there is not a middle jacking point.

Yes, you can use the front jacking point (the one that's a few inches behind the front wheel well, directly underneath the leading edge of the door) for this purpose. If you jack it from there, you can lift the entire side of the car, with both wheels/tires on that side off the ground, and you can then change both wheels/tires.

 

^^^^^Was going to say the same thing, figured that out today while jacking up the car. Thanks for the help again guys, I def. would have saw the jack point, but it was dark and rainy out last night so I wasn't about to go look, haha. Rims are on and looking good.
