Jacking up car - using garage jack - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

NYNOMAD · 06-26-2012, 02:36 PM

Has anyone jacked the car from the front jack point (so both front wheels come off the ground). Not the side jack points - which is where I'll put the jack stands.

I saw the pic in the partial Svc Manual page 32 - but cant get it to copy here.

Seems like there is a cover in the way.

Any one jacked the car up using the front point yet?

Yes, no issues. Low profile race jack. A 2x4, slid under the car without issues, and raised. Put jack stands on both sides as you mentioned, did oil change. No big deal.
