Jacking points size?

Whoomba · 10-18-2025, 02:07 PM

I’m curious what everyone does with this situation. I have ramps. It of course they are too steep. I have a floor jack but how does it work jacking and then putting jack stands under?

There is a diagram with the jack points floating around. Basically, each side has three pinch-weld jacking points. You place the jack under the middle one and the entire side of the car lifts off the ground. Then you can use your jackstands. Make sure to use a pinch-weld lifting puck so you don't damage the pinch-welds. You can get them on Amazon or through some site vendors I believe.

Yes, I have two sets of those.

If I'm. Side lifting i will lift the front high enough to be jacked up by lifting the rear first. I go to the rear pinch weld lift area and jack it up till the front tire is high enough to put a 2x4 under it. Then i lower it and move the jack to the front pinch weld area.
But that is really rare because i have access to 2 and 4 post lifts.

This is one of the pics floating around. I think there's a better one showing more jack points as well.

As bishopts stated, you can lift from the center jack point, which will raise the entire side of the car, because the chassis is very rigid. You can then slide in your jack stands under the rear and front lift points, release the hydraulic jack, then repeat the process on the other side. You can do this in two stages, too, if you don't want to fully lift one side first, as it may feel scary.

Here is the official jacking guide from the service manual, see my red arrows indicating the center lift point on one side.

I found a service manual. It doesn’t show the center one for the convertible.
