front jack point

[cspcrx]

Going to replace front endlinks with moogs. Can't see a front center jackpoint on the car, is there one? Or do you just raise on side put it on a stand then do the other side?
Thanks

should be right behind the wheel. cant find a pic of it but should be fairly noticeable.

The center jack point or the side jack point. I know the side points are right behind the wheel under the doors.
Not sure if thats what your talking about.

I don't think we have a center point do we?

Yup there is one located in the center. Weird looking front beam ( crossmember ) but it's there and should have a bulge/bump on where to jack it from so it doesn't slip. You can jack it up from the front but I would opt for the front side lift points instead as they will lift the body higher than the front. If you are set on the front center jack point then refer to the first image but use jack stands! ( Added pics at post #7 to show location )

Ya thought about the cross member after I posted but who has a jack that could even get to that?

Any jack can. It's not very far from the front. Maybe 1- 1.5 feet. Low profile jack as I have will do it easily.

My old MSP that my brother now owns:

Any pump style jack reaches it fine. I've done it numerous times.

I was thinking of the crossmember thats with the swaybar lol.

that worked. Its actually a little off center but none the less it makes it easier then doing one side then the other. Enlinks, now thats a pain and a truely stupid design.
Used my earthquack to get the top nut off, the one on the shock. Then ripped the link off so that the ball and nut were left attached to the swaybar. The break easily.
Then used my air grinder with a cutoff wheel to go down the center of the nut. Snaps right off.
Thanks guys.
