<VV> Jacking Points

[BBRT]

Look underneath and you will see there are frame rail-appearing pieces 
behind the front wheels from the wheel well rearward, inboard of the rocker 
panels. These, along with the cross member can be used for jacking points 
and jack stand points.  In the rear, just forward of the rear wheel well is 
a triangular area which is the std. place to put a jack or jack stand. You 
can use a floor jack with a 2 x 4 on the pad or better yet, a 2x3 and place 
it just rearward of the rear edge of the cpe door opening, against the body 
seam that sticks down and you can jack the entire side of the car up to 
place the jacks stands in the places mentioned. You can jack up a front side 
by using the lower control arm in the front and the rear quarter can be 
raised by jacking under the outer rearward end of the trailing arm-where the 
axle, spring and shock come together.

Some folks think jacking on the engine/drivetrain itself leads to failure of 
the motor mounts, so be advised.

Good Luck
