For the rear, the triangular steel reinforcement (used for installing the trailer hitch) under the trunk is a designated jack point for the rear. The crossmember under the engine is designated for the front. You can also use the jack points under the sills. Using the forward one will lift the rear wheel also, if lifted high enough. I put jack stands under the semi-round attachments for the A-frames on the front. ----------------- John Weiss Seattle, WA remove *nospam* from e-mail address for reply A.
