Hi folks,
Soon to be a new owner of a GS AWD. I'm wondering if anyone has any specifics on what height of floor jack and jack stands I need to do anything useful. My current jack only goes up 14" so I suspect that is not high enough (18" should do it?). I normally jack my car to rotate tires, and will eventually be doing it for my oil (I know, should get ramps).
Also, most people seem to say to jack from the front cross member. Can anyone take a picture of it? Some CX7/9 owners say it's very thin and have bent it, so I suspect they have actually missed the cross member and went to the thin insulating piece behind it instead.
Any known issues/annoying things I should be aware of beyond that?
Thanks!,
