A real newbie question

[BobJizze]

Where is the front jacking point on my 99 civic si, It should be obvious but i just don't want to mess up the front of my car, is it that small round metal piece sticking out through the body? or will that lil bastard smash when i jack my car up? Thanks in advance and sorry for my ignorance, i need to buy the service manual!

no problem noob... haha

i always use the little metal jack point right behind the front tires...

i hope that helps.

i think he's looking for the one underneath the frontend.

how does that work? jack up one side and put a jack stand then the other side? is there not a front jacking point?

 

[anfrey]

i know there's one, because my civic's been jacked up by there before.

Don't use the lower front clip to jack up the car..or you will jack up your car...pushing your radiator into your hood is bad mkay...

When I use jack stands...I jack just towards the front of the car from the factory jack points for the back and just behind the factory points for the front(you will notice a peice of the frame in line with the back of the wheel well...there is a whole or a cap on it). If get off my lazy but I will take pictures.

I jack up my car from the little metal piece in the center, it kinda sticks out of the botton cover. if i need to lift my car higher though than i use the tow hook connectors on each side.
