I tried to jack up my 5th gen SH which is lowered about 1.5 to 2 inches today. I thought the jack point was the hook in the centerline back from the plastic splash shield. I couldn't get my floor jack back there though as it is too low. Can I jack it up a bit further forward? Does anyone havea picture of where the front jack point is on a 5th gen? The service manual diagram isn't cutting it for me.

 

i lift the front end of my 4th gen from the hook in the front. mine is lowered too so i drive the two front wheels up onto two bricks, then the floor jack will fit under it.

 

I hadn't thought of the brick option.

 

Drive it up on two pieces of wood.

 

drive one wheel up on a curb, then slide the jack under?

 

Jack it up with the stock jack on the side jacking point, then when its high enough, continue with your jack of choice in the front.

 

this is gonna sound stupid but if a friend pulls up on the car with his hands, he might unweight the car just enough for you to slip the jack under

 

ive been doing what mkazm83 has suggested for YEARS. Stock jack a little bit, then floorjack on the main center tow hook on the cross member. Then jackstands.

 

yep the oem jack 1st then the hydrolic jack. or just have a buddy lift up on the fender and slide the hydro jack under.

 

driving up on a thin brick seems to work faster for me than using the stock jack

 

I just went to sears and bought their nice low profile jack.... works wonders!!
