My floor jack has the typical shallow cup on the lifting end. Should I just place this under the lifting points where you put the jack that comes with the car or is there a better location?

 

i put it under the lifting points (3" wide tab that sticks out)

 

i have a cup too. when i wanna do the front i cup the hump that sticks down right in the center line. rear is similar on the frame.

 

i sometimes use the tow hooks on the front or back, other times i use the side lifting points - depends on what i'm doing. the rear is so light you can pick up both tires with the tow hook.

 

never thought of using the tow hooks, gonna do that now, sounds easier to put jacks under the car.

 

The TL is a unibody car. Where's the frame?

 

i use the tow hooks to jack the car up and the jack points on the sides of the car for the jack stands..

 

2 of my jack points are bent over flat. Have to use wood to have the jack clear my sideskirt. But yes, I use my jackpoints for lifting.

 

Get a jack with a larger lift pad (if its not the 4")

Use the lift points, the tow hooks, I personally use the front center lift point to lift the whole front evenly at once. The rear tow hook as well, that leaves the factory lift points for the jack stands.

 

my passenger side front is bent ALMOST over flat.. it was like that when i got the car.. sucks that the car sits lop sided when working on it.. ugh..

 

For you guys with bent jacking points, if you can get your car up on a lift you can try to bend them back to the correct position
