Jack Location for Changing flat tire

[lakesinai]

Today
I thought I'd familiarize myself with the use of the jack and the front and rear attachment locations for the jack. I'm doing this so I know before I need it, and also because I plan to buy a hydraulic jack for the car, simpler to use, and i was measuring the distance to the various atrachment points.

Rear: manual says use the axle tube.

Front: the wishbone front suspension doesn't seem to have attachment points. Manual says to use the place on the front frame ehere the "arrow" is. I cant find any arrow. Pictures in "manual" are pretty bad. Clear as mud.

Can i have some clarification?

Looks like straight below the space between the rear of the fender and front of the door.

The middle square? What does the top of the jack look like?

The arrow is in the picture of the body mount the you posted. It stamped through the metal frame. It’s in this picture.

This is like f*cking "Where's Waldo"... Someone just circle the damn arrow for us!

I think he means this, and the point is obscured! But, where in the world does the jack go?? Ill have to look tomorrow!

It seems pretty clear. The jack will cup the main frame rail at the indicated arrow

That looks somewhat like an arrow... I'll buy that lol. I was looking for it being stamped on the metal; not cut out. Thanks!

I cant see it on my OBX, maybe the running board is blocking the view!

Yeah, probably. I was sitting on my garage floor when I took that pic.

I still cant visualize how that's a jack lift location! Will have to get out the scissors jack tomorrow . . . !

@kkurni

Does this help

I bet it doesn't since he has a flat on the rear.
