Jacking points
Where are the front and rear central jacking points? I saw in a post that one is near the transmission and the other is by the differential. I want to put my car on jackstands to drain the trans and diff.

People normally confuse the front jacking points. When you look underneath it looks like there are 2 "tabs" sticking out, you want to put the jack under the tab closest to the rear of the car.

when leaving the car up on jackstands, i've read a few ways to do it on this forum...
one is to put a jackstand at each point as shown in the above diagram, on the 4 "tabs" at each corner of the car
AND
the other is to put a jackstand on each corner, a little farther in underneath the car on the frame rails
i find putting a jackstand on the tab is kinda hard when your tryin to jack at that point as well, so is it 100% safe to be putting the jackstands on the frame? or is that where they are supposed to be in the first place?

what is a good, low enough jack i would be able to use to just go strait under the front of the bumper and be able to reach to the front center jacking point?

All I do is get the car jack and put it under the center of the car under the pinch weld (not under a tab). I jack it up enough to where i can get my normal craftsman under and jack it all the way up until I have enough room to put two jack stands under the tabs. Works every time.
