I have decided to stop jacking my cars using the emergency locations right behind the front wheels and in front of the rear as it has caused little "ripples" in the body from repeated jacking(no jokes, please)on my Accord..
Is there a safe location in the center front and center rear I can use with a floor jack without doing any harm? I want to make sure before I start in on my S..

I would assume the rear differential housing, but want to make sure....

Thanks brothers and sisters....

 

i haven't looked yet but one good place i was taught for the rear when i apprenticed was under the diff and using a wood block if its aluminum.

 

The car can be jacked up from the center in front or back. The back is the differential. The front is not as easy to access because the car sits to low for 99% of the floor jacks. You have a choice of (1) buying a floor jack that clears 5-1/2", (2) driving onto a ramp first, like onto 2x4's, or (3) using the normal jack to raise it from the side first & then sliding the floor jack under the center.

Check the FAQ's for more info.

i think that i remember seeing the jack points in the service manual... i use those to jack up my car.
they are middle of the front and middle in the back- but it is very important to use the proper spots. i remember seeing a post from someone who used the wrong spot and bent something under the car.
