Does anyone know what kind of jack would I need to lift from the front tow hook and rear center jack point to be able to place jack stands on the lift points by the wheels? How high does it need to be lifted to get the wheels off the ground? Thx
are the front and rear hooks the only places to lift the car from?
i saw a youtube video of a guy lifting the car from one side which is a lot easier, but don't know exactly where he lifted the car from. anyone have a pic for reference?
thanks, guys! I'm a very visual person, so I took some pix as better reference.
here's a pic, from the passenger side looking forward. the yellow box is where the jack stand would go. the red box should be the area you said is okay to jack the car from in order to put the stand in, right?
yellow - jack stand
red - ok lifting point to jack car up in order to put jackstand in yellow place.
No, you have a pic of part #8 inner Sill panel. The guy in the video is jacking somewhere to the left or further in towards the center of the car/further inward to the left of the red box. Ref your pic.
For the record I'm not 100 percent convince that that is a good spot for jacking. Just bc the car is raising does not mean there's no damage being done.
ok, i think i know why i'm confused now...my wife's mdx is 2015. is the body framing different? because i don't see a frame that runs lengthwise anywhere else under the car...
