trolley jack lifting
any one help me with the correct place to jack up me car front and back please with a trolley jack pics would be nice dont want to make mistakes ........... my last car was an 86 merc sl420 it was so well built you could jack it up under the exhaust box if you wanted
There are 6 places on the car that you can jack it from. Behind the front wheels if you look at the bottom of the body, there are two reinforced spots (one behind each wheel) that you can position the jack under and lift the car. In front of each rear wheel is a similar spot under the body as well. You can also jack the rear of the car up by using the bottom of the differential as a jacking point and also one point under the car in front of the oil pan that is reinforced and visible from under the front of the car if you get down and look.
Your owners manual contains all of this information and more. Might I suggest that you sit down and spend 45 mins with it; it will be time well spent. I'll also point you to this thread http://forums.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.p...threadid=187129 that appeared on the front page of the site at the very same time you posed your question.

I hate to be a smart-ass, but I couldn't find anything about the center jack points in the owners manual for my '00. The owners manual does have detailed instructions using the scissors jack on the side jacking points.
