2024 Camaro6 Manual Missing Info

NovaSS4spdFan · 10-18-2023, 09:07 PM

Need an illustration showing the exact location of undercarriage pinch welds recommended as lift points on the 2024(2016-24) convertible. Nothing in the manual, zero mention of any jacking points.
I'm aware of the ZL-1 addons and other requirements from Camaro6 forum and the web.

The manual will not tell you. About at the door hinge behind the front tires, in front of the rear tires. Crawl under and you will see the pinch welds.

Perform a search of the forum.

Look underneath, you will see where there are cutouts in the vinyl lower body panel are... That is where you want to lift...

Brutal

The search engine of this forum is an absolute negative legend, one of the worst I've ever used. That said, using an internet search engine and adding the "site:camaro6.com" tag is way more useful.

The owner's manual does not have this information, only the shop/service manual does. Here is a screenshot of the relevant page with the 4 recommended lift points. There are two more cutouts, I use those spots for jack stands.

I was about to say, "thank goodness! I've been using the diff as a lift point for a while but wasn't sure if it was safe". However, isn't the diagram indicating that cross member at the front of the car as a 5th lift point?

Ha, you're right, I assumed it was the rear and it's actually the front, GM forgot to add the exhaust to the image. Two pages down the shop manual shows a ZL1 with the exhaust and the front arrow is missing, so the "base" picture might actually be a mistake. BTW I also had the car lifted from the diff, with no problems.

To avoid misunderstandings, I've edited my post above.

Appreciate everyone's help. The vert is unique being that it has underbody cross bracing which presents interference issues.
Speaking of manuals, it's been awhile but does Helm still print them for GM vehicles ?

Here is the service manual page for the vert (OH NO, SORRY BUT NOT SORRY), pardon, convertible, you'll see how they recommend flanking the cross braces.

Unfortunately, Helm stopped offering service manuals with model year 2018, they only have the printed versions of owner's manuals and other downloadable PDFs for the 2019+. The only official shop information source I know of is an ACDelco TDS subscription.

In a nutshell, the car has six pinch weld points - one directly behind each front wheel, one directly in front of each rear wheel, and one additional one about a foot back from the forward one mentioned earlier.

On the 'vert (deal with it), the one forward and rear are accessible while the "middle ones" are blocked by the cross braces.

Saw this recently with all the lift/ jack points marked

CalgaryZL1 · 10-19-2023, 11:43 AM

I think the ones circled in yellow are production line mounts, and not meant to be lifted there, I have seen pictures of damage from using that point to lift the car

I've read similar, potentially when the car is being painted and there's basically no weight from anything IN or ON the car. The green circles are the only points to lift the car once fully assembled whether via a jack or a lift.
