yeah its sound stupid but hey, i did something stupid i jack the front of the car on the oil pan
bcuz i could not far anough behind it.

my ride is too low i could not jake up

so if anyone can tell where is the best place and provide picture maybe it will help ppl so this dont happen again!
the rear is pretty mush on differential right?

oh btw i am not speaqking of the oem jack : )

i want to lift the front end with a single jack!!!

Jack it up by the tow hooks on the front if it's too low to get the jack all the way under. Best place to jack it up would be under the crossmember under the engine. Or there's lift points on the sides directly behind the front wheels. You can see the reinforced sections. On the rear jack it up under the rear diff or again using the tow hooks.

Do what I do, drive onto some scrap 2x4's, then the jack can get under the engine crossmember. You are correct on jacking the rear of the car up by the diff, pretty much the best place for that.

What does your oil pan look like now?


What Deride said, drive onto some boards to give yourself clearance.

Yeah I forgot about that little tip I got from my honda buddy. I scraped my front lip the first time I drove the car lol. Stupid business had a sidewalk entrance that was angled and the road kind of angled down at the edge. I drove really slow and at an angle and everything and still scraped it pretty good.
