I am attempting to gather information regarding the proper placement of a hydraulic floor jack. I have a 2008 Pontiac Solstice.
Jacking points on all Jeep vehicles
Your Jeep was supplied with a jack for emergency road repairs. This jack is fine for changing a flat tire or other short-term procedures not requiring you to go beneath the vehicle. Do not attempt to use the jack on any portions of the vehicle other than specified by the vehicle manufacturer. Always block the diagonally opposite wheel when using a jack.
Placing a floor jack under the front frame rail
Placing a floor jack under the rear frame rail at the leaf spring shackle. It may be necessary to place a block of wood between the frame rail and the jack
Supporting the front of the vehicle with jack stands placed under each frame rail
A more convenient way of jacking is the use of a garage or floor jack. You may use the floor jack at the specified points in following the illustrations.
Never place the jack under the radiator, engine or transmission components. Severe and expensive damage will result when the jack is raised. Additionally, never jack under the floorpan or bodywork; the metal will deform
Support the rear of the vehicle using jack stands placed underneath each side of the rear differential (inset photo)
