Is it ok to jack up the front of my car by the cross member or will you bend it.

also can you rewire the aux. lights on the the del sol from the main headlights to just the corner lights so the could come on with only the corner lights on and not the head light.

I read the diy pic.s didn't work so it was a little confusing.

Thanks for the help

I know some one knows.

atlest let me know about the jacking area

 

What do you drive? I'm guessing a del sol? Whats the crossmember to you? I've seen people mistake it for the radiator support, and thats usually not the best of ideas for jacking the car up...

 

if you want help why dont you try posting a title that will give someone an idea of what you need help with. and why dont you just jack your car up where you're supposed to ? and as far as your wiring is concerned i've never owned a del sol so i cant help there.

 

Sorry for the title
but i hate having to jack one side up and put jack stands under it then go the the other side and repeat the processe to change the oil and for any other reason i would need to go under my motor

and for what H22civic88 said i probably was mistaking it for the radiator support where would the cross-member be then. and yes i do have a del sol

 

I always just jack mine up from the jack points on the side right under the front fender you cant miss it, then I'll usually set the jacks on the lower control arm or the frame underneath depending on what I'm working on...

 

Why not use ramps to get the car up to change the oil?

 

Once i lower my car i don't think the ramps would work correct me if im wrong but if im right that would just be a wast of money for me but thanks for the input

i jack mine up the same way i am just looking for a faster way to do it so i don't have to do both sides. I guess im lazy

 

I take off my front bumper, but that's just me. It's not difficult to do so I don't mind. Don't know if it's complicated process for you to do.

 

what r u trying to say to take it of to find the cross-member? i don't really understand and yes i do know how to take it of really easy

 

you guys r looking for a faster way to jack your cars up so its easy. well im a chep **** so i always use my factory sissor jack from the trunk to do all my work so i wouldnt be compaining to much. dont worry i know those jacks are not sturdy at all thats why i toss a tire under there for safty percautions

I think he is trying to say that you will have enough clearence to run your car up on ramps by taking off your front bumper. When I first bought my del it was a credit card height off the ground(dumb kid cut the springs) n e ways thats how i would get mine high enough.

Or you can not be lazy and use the jack points

 

I guess i will stop being lazy and jack it up one side at a time.

Thank for the input

 

Best of luck

 

I use the curb a a ramp then jack up the other side easy and fast!!!
