Vehicle Lifting: Service and Repair

LIFTING, JACKING, AND SUPPORT POINTS





CAUTION: to help avoid personal injury when a vehicle is on a hoist, provide additional support for the vehicle at the opposite end from which components are being removed, this will reduce the possibility of the vehicle falling off the hoist.

CAUTION: to help avoid personal injury, always use jack stands when working on or under any vehicle that is supported only by a jack.


NOTICE: When lifting with a frame contact hoist, lift the vehicle on the side frame directly behind the front tires and in front of the rear tires.
When lifting with a suspension contact hoist, position the front structure under the front lower control arms. Position the rear structure under the rear knuckles.
When using a floor jack, position the jack under the rear crossmember.
