** Urgent *** - Best spot to jack up front wheels?

[Twincam16]

X-member is too far back... which spot is safest to jack up front of a civic/sol?

There is that radiator support point, which i dont think is safe to use, and the 2 side towing points, also unsafe, so what is best spot?

Under the gearbox???

do not lift from any point on the actual engine or geabox

depending on the job - jack from front radiator support. Its designed to lift up the front of hte car high enough so you can put jack stands on either side ready for work

i used to use the front rad support, but then i read somewhere that it is actually bad for the car.....

i always jack from rad support.. but then i started noticing alot of them are arching up at the jack point.. ever since, drive the car onto ramps/bricks and jack from side of car lol

you drive on 2 flat pieces of wood such as plywood or mdf etc to raise the chassis height enough so your jack can fit.
Use jack stands guys for any work please :)
