Re: Proper way to jack up Intrigue?

I cant say I care for the jackstands on the pinch welds approach, they arent that hard to fold over...which could be just enough movement to cause some problems for you.

I usually try to put a jack somewhere on the boxed "frame" part of the car..which is much easier in the front than it is the back because it sweeps upward.

On the front I usually put the jack somewhere near where the control arm attaches to the frame and then put the jackstand in one of the holes on the subframe near the engine.
