You will see a flange that extends downward. Place the groove of the jack into this flange.

Jack points are clearly listed in the owners manual and should be shown with the jack/spare/tire wrench package in the trunk.

For a jack(not the one that comes with the car, a real one), I use the jackpoint with a wood block (2x4 about 6") so that the jack doesn't mess the jack point up. For the jack stands, I put them on the subframe in the front, near the mounts. Haven't had an issue so far

:stupid: ;)

i used my floor jack on the jack points and bent them in :?
the jack points are more for a bottle jack or one like for the spare tire...but if you use a block of wodd it whould be fine, and jack stands to the sub frame ;)

jack stands to the sub frame
pretend just for a second that i dont know where this is. i thought i had it last time but if my mind wasnt playing tricks on me, it started bending. that means to me that i didnt have it. so rather than make a grevious error today, id like someone to set me straight

and between bonnevilleclub and the manual, id rather trust bonnevilleclub. also, the manual means i have to get up when someone on here might have be able to make it a lot easier with very little trouble (if its more than very little, please dont bother)
