Quick help...Jack Points?

[IllGen]

hey guys i did search, http://www.genesisowners.com/hyundai-genesis-forum/showthread.php?t=9770


however, I am still unsure of where I start jacking the car from. Going to change wheels since it is getting nicer around these parts. Thanks.

Side of car. Behind front wheels and in front of rear wheels. Look for two notches on the pinch welds. I have not jacked the car from the front or rear as there's just too much plastic covering everything and too lazy to remove it to find a solid jack point.

^ The pinch welds for the front is correct. The entire rear can be lifted at one time by placing the jack on the rear diff or "pumpkin" if you will.

thanks guys can i use the rear pinch welds tho? or not

Sure! I just find it beneficial and time saving to put the ass end up all at once

Ah excellent point. This is my first RWD car so it's definitely new to me.

The front is all shrouded with plastic so the standard jack points are probably your best bet.

But if you have only 1 jack and a jack-stand...you could jack the rear and put the jack stand under a point where the swing arms bolt to the sub-frame and then jack up the front. That's usually how I like to do it when I rotate my own tires since they're relatively close to the edges for putting the jack-stands under the car and can get 1 whole side off the ground.

Of course you could always jack your car the way I do mine with a little Southern engineering.

In case you didn’t know, in the south we believe in faster cars, younger women and older whiskey.

Just "jacking" around with you, at almost 70, I just got tired of crawling around on the floor to work on my cars, so I bought this lift for my birthday (instead of socks that my family always seems to provide me with). My wife still can’t figure out why I wanted this in my garage, but then again unless a woman is into too cars they can’t see any value in something like this.

She said “why would you want to do all of this stuff, when you can take the car to the dealers and have a Latté or Cappuccino, relax while reading the paper or a book while they craw around under the dirty side of the car”?

I guess for the same reason I wouldn’t spend hours in the beauty pallor or spa.

^ Interesting lift. I was looking to put a 4 post in at my parents house to store my car under...never went through with it though

Woah...Southern Boy...your garage/that lift is pretty awesome!

Unfortunately I've only got a 1 car garage and have to store my son's power wheel ON TOP of my car if I put it in LOL

thanks guys was able to get them on with ease. 18 inch work wheels. look a bit tiny especially with the wheel gap but they were left over from my lexus GS and offsets seem to look even better on the hyundai. will look into lowering springs soon.

That is so "sick". Twilight years can be so awesome. Congrats on such an awesome setup!
