Yes, you are right.

Thanks for the pictures, that will help others.

This is the one that I purchased from a local auto store. Would this work or would I end up damaging something when I jack it up.

Thx

No, you'll be fine with that.

1) Make sure the jack is well supported on concrete or asphalt.

2) Be sure you are centered.

3) Use jack stands for safety.

You are good with that.
Just to inform you if you want to jack up the whole car (4 jack stands), start by lifting the front first, it is easier that way.

i think that jack might be to small to lift some area's. if you lift the differential you will be ok- but if you lift other area's i think you will be just at the height threshold.

nope sorry- checked the numbers, and you will be fine. mine is the same height from harbor freight.

I wonder if I should put a material that will prevent the metal of the car touches the metal of the jack. It can be a 1/4" rubber (like couple of layer of an old inner tube) or an old cutting board? I thought it may cause some rust issues in the future.

have you ever looked under a car? there is more rust than bare metal. you will never prevent rust from the undercarriage or its parts. its just the nature of the beast.

save your effort with this worthless task and focus on something more productive.

PS: i would avoid lifting ANY vehicle by the rear differential. you can bend the cover, you can snap parts, and cause flexing in area's that shouldnt be flexed. you can bend the cover and cause a leak. Plus the differential just wasn't built to hold up half the weight of the car from the diff.

dont be lazy and lift the whole rear of the car on the pumpkin. leave it alone, and do it right and you wont have to worry about possibly causing hundreds in repair.

I, and many others from what I have read, use a hockey puck between the jack and the car. It's made of vulcanized rubber so it's not going to break. Some people also use a piece of 2x4/2x6.

They also make purpose-built jack pads, but I am unsure they are universal.

If I want to use jack stands like these, http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00950159000P

What are the correct places to put them in the front of the car and back?
thanks

same spots as OEM jack points, along the so called "frame" folds. or on strong frame/k-frame spots/sub carriers, etc

Ok so I was testing this this morning because I was going to paint my calipers today but it has been raining all day

I got a set of 4 ton jack stands, these, http://www.sears.com/craftsman-professi ... ockType=G1

and because the top of it doesn't curve down enough I cannot put it where you would the scissor jack, so I was going to put it just inside that lip, you can see from this pic


So is that an ok place? or will it bend the metal under there?

[ImStricken06]

i never understood why they continue to make one kind of jack-stands. its time to update the design for more use by uni-body cars.
the only way around it for now is adapters.




i would put that jack between the edges of the pinch-weld.
