car jack points on fb

Hi guys,

can you direct me towards a thread where the car jack points are? I can't seem to find a topic relating to this.

Cheers

My advice would be to only jack at the front wishbones suspension cross member, and rear axle or just forward of the front spring eye mount.
Please avoid the sub frame sections just under the front floor pan area unless you are totally sure they are in good nick as the metal in this area is already quite thin. Most I have seen are usually punched in from the car being lifted using a two post hoist or similar.

There is also a ball socket mount 1/2 way along the sill panel that takes the standard scissor jack for changing tyres roadside (sedans). Commercials use a bottle jack at the suspension points shown in the user manual. Can't confirm wagons though.

Thanks Craig,

That has more than answered my question.

Cheers
