I read somewhere on this forum that the the TL's front end can be raised up from a single jacking point and the same is true of the back end. Can someone please tell me or show where these jacking points are? I want to make sure I do this right. Going to be replacing the front brake pads soon so this will come in handy.

Thanks,

Al

 

In the front, it's a flat section in the center of a cross member, maybe two feet behind the bumper (I'm at work now). I don't recall whether or not this info is in the owner's manual but it is in the Service Manual. The rear center jack point is the hook.

 

Use the search feature. This link literally took a few seconds to find.

i just used the jacking points yesterday. For the one in front, if you get down and look, there is a BIG cutout arrow showing you where it is. It is about 12-18 inches behind where the liscense plate is.

The back one is the big towing hook. You really cant miss that one. Make sure if you are using the back one you have a good floor jack. Takes alot to get the back end up.

 

I would still recommend using jack stands just to be on the safe side.

 

And don't forget the jack stands. A must if your going to be under the car.

 

Dont worry he will learn :p

 

You only get to learn that lesson once!

 

 

Just in case no one reminded you:

USE JACK STANDS

 

Maybe we told him too late hoe nooooo.

 

also put blocks on your front wheels just in case.

 

Thanks for the help everyone. And don't worry, I always use jackstands when working under any vehicle.

llooolll falling of my chair, but on a serious note i still wouldnt get under a car even with jack stands 3700lbs>170lbs=smoosh

 

If I wanted to get the entire car up in the air so I can install like an exhaust or something, would it be better to jack up the front, throw it on stands, then jack up the rear, and throw that on stands? How about rolling the front or back on ramps, then the opposite end on jack stands? I feel like neither of these options are safe at all...

On the other hand, is just putting one end stands (say the rear) enough to get under it to swap out a cat-back?

 

^ I just drove my car up on some wood beams that were about 6 inches high.

Gave me plenty of clearance to get under there and install it.

Or you could be smart and get access to a lift
