I need to jack up my 1996 Acura Integra SE to change all my wheels, but I can't find the deferential! Where can I jack it up?!

I need to find out exactly where to raise it on the back and front using jacks, not a hoist.

Can anyone explain, or have a diagram to show me or anything? Thanks.

wow what would you do if you got a flat on the highway.

There are main jack points. Look under the sideskirts and toward the center of the car near each wheel. You will see a tab sticking out. Put the jack right there.

I sure hope you can find these.....otherwise read the owners manual of the book...if you have one of course

 

Do not jack the car on the middle with your jack!!!!!!!!!! It cannot support the car. You need to do it on the sides.

 

You can use the "emergency jack points" which can be found on the four sides of the car (near the wheel well, there is a metal piece sticking out). However, this is mainly for raising one corner of the car (in the case of changing a flat on the side of the road).

It is better (and easier) to use a floor jack and lift the whole front of the car or back in one shot (there is spot under the frame between the bumper and the engine where you can lift, you'll see an arrow pointing to it, you can use the towing hook to lift the back).


If you have trouble finding it, let me know and I can give you more info.
Good luck!

Someone needs to send this post to my acura dealer... after I got some warranty work done they ripped off my oem body kit sideskirt with the jack. Go figure.
