Safe jack points on a 1990 Lumina


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hey everyone-

 

I know that there are the stock jack pointwith that gay little v-notch all along the edge of the car on the underside, but what are some other safe jack points that are like underneath the car or something?

 

I ask because the dumbass owners before me basically mangled the ones that are all along the edge on the underside. I guess if ya'll have any pictures, they would help too. I gotta do some major work this weekend, and i gotta have a safe way to raise my car off the ground.

 

Thanks!

I sometimes put it under the subframe, but sometimes that collapses a little. That or I put it under the K-member and hope the jack goes high enough.

I always use the pinchpoints myself with a 2x4 going across the grain, its always worked for me.

In the rear there is a jack point behind the gas tank

 

In the front I use the area behind the tire, or on the subframe when I go UNDER the car. I only used the subframe on my old 1988 GP cause it was so rusty.

Floor jack can go under the middle of the rear leaf spring's center plate and under the subframe mount points.
