1995 Camaro, I got a starter issue..so I need to put the front end up on jack stands, and Im not quite sure the best place to put them. Simple fix? Check the Haynes manual. HERE is where it gets, let's say funny - thats easier on me LOL!
Somehow, (im sure my kid was involved!) a nice section of my manual was torn out...right up to the jacking and towing section...the rest of the book is all good LOL! So long story short Im missing the illustration that points out the jacking points 0719111905.jpg?t=1311128508
If anyone could take a snapshot, scan the page...heck even hand draw the illustration, I would be more than grateful. Ive searched online for answers, and come to find everyone has a different take on how to get the job done. Im also a visual learner, and sometimes reading others' explanations doesnt add up in my head, maybe thats the issue there LOL!

Personally, Ive jacked this car up and changed tires/brakes...but nothing involving the jack stands... Was I was jacking in the proper area? Who knows! But I do know that I DO NOT want to be under the front end unless im sure the stands are in the right spot.

Any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks everyone!!

 

Just put the jacks on the frame rails.

 

For the front of the car you can use the crossmember

You can come in behind the front wheel and there should be a lifting pad there

For the rear, just use the axle

 

@Socom - the frame rails is where I jacked the car from when I did the tires and brakes. I wasnt so sure if they could withstand the jack stand treatment. Thanks for the input!

@Failed Devices - I've read about the crossmember - though wouldnt this put the stand kind of in the way? Im going to be removing either the starter motor, or the solenoid. And I dont know anything about the lifting pad, but Im thinking I should look into it. Thanks as well!

 

Don't use the little pad on the bottom of the fender, it clearly says DO NOT LIFT HERE. It will mess your fender alignment up if you jack from there.

 

There's four spots on the car. Behind the front tires you'll see a long lip running the length of the car. From front to back. Then you'll see that the lip gets small in to spots. About a Foot from each wheel well. These are you jack spots that are listed in your owners manual. Put your jackstands here. Now when jacking the car up I use the k-member and the suspension points on the diff. Never go right under the diff cover as you can damage the housing.

Hope you can figure out my post.
