Default dumb question!!!

may seem dumb, but im going to have my car up on jack stands tomarrow. Under the car there is that bar that you place the stands under, but where should I put the jack, under the rotor?

I jack it up from the front jack point, then place the stands on the two side jack points in the front. Then repeat the same steps for the rear. Is that what you are asking?

Just don't jack by your rotor!

stay away from the rotor......................you can jack from the tow loop in the back or the two up front............

for some reason i feel i should add, DO NOT TRY TO USE A SCISSOR JACK ON THE TOW LOOPS!!!!!
