Where to jack car

[mackker]

Hello,

First winter with my Stinger and wondering where to place my floor jack to safely jack the car up to swap out to winter wheels. The manual just shows where to use the OEM jack which is on the welded seams.

Any help is appreciated

Thanks

There are pinch welds under the doors. I jack it nearer to the tires 4 times. You can use the same area as the OEM jack, with a pinch weld adapter, the whole weld will support the car weight.

I would suggest buying something like this for your jack stand

and https://www.amazon.com/Seven-Sparta-Adapter-Universal-Protector/dp/B07N691QNG for your jacks. So you don't mess up the nice painted frame/promote rust.

Good day to rotate the tires so I threw my (dirty) car on the jack. I think I get your concern, the oem pinch cutout is only big enough for a jack or a stand but not both, it has warped my trim underneath (visible to the left of the jack photo number one) a touch, but nothing terrible, it seems pretty resilient (photo of how awful it looks during tension photo number two)

Definitely thankful to have those rubber pads on my stands, and you can see how well the 0.39 jack stand puck fits the stinger's pinch weld (That photo is under load)

Simple solution: get pinch weld adapter, feel with your hand where there is a gap between the clips in the skirt trim, move the trim a little and wedge the adapter there. Then jack up car and put the stands where the OEM spot is. Ez money

Save your money modify a hockey puck. At least thats the CDN way.

Annnddd... You can ramp the rears and remove the silver bar between the exhaust pipes. You can now jack on the subframe or the diff (with a hockey puck). I have not put the silver brace bar back on... no ill effects so far...

For the front I ramp the front tires to use the jack on the subframe (remove the covers and you will see where. Mark with paint.) The jack will lift from there just fine. Maybe use a hockey puck if you care.

Couldn't find a perfect way to get the pinch puck to keep from bending the under molding but it doesn't seem to cause any long term harm to the plastic. This is passengers side view

I have to change out my brakes this weekend so this information is very useful.
