I haven't seen this before, sorry if it's a dupe.

REally helpful ! Do you know where that came from?
is that from the shop manual?
[I haven't bought a shop manual yet]

I found it on another site, so I'm not sure where it's from.

Could you post the picture as a file so we could go to it and print it?
Wouldn't hurt to be able to show to some of the incapable mechanics we run into from time to time at the dealerships.

Crowvette-- I posted the jacking chart on another site, don't remember where I found it. To save and print this just hover over the pic and right click. Choose "save picture as" or "print picture".

Thanks, that worked just fine

My eyes are not as good as they once were. I can tell where 2 and 4 are on the picture but I'm hesitant about where 1 and 3 are. It looks like 1, the preferred location, is the four circular annotations and 3 is the two areas on the left of the picture between # 4, the suspension locations. Is that correct?

Location 3 are the usual jacking pad locations. Location 1 is on either side of what appears to be a front cross member behind the front wheels, and/or at either frame rail just behind the rear suspension.

I knew my Hot Wheels would be good for something.

Red #1 Preferred
Yellow #2 Optional

Send this to Chevrolet so they can put it in the owners manual. This shows the points in black and white. Great diagram.

Outstanding!

If this diagram is correct, then when lifting the rear of the vehicle, it must be done one side at a time. Putting a floor jack in the center of the rear crossmember and lifting the entire rear is a no no. Also, the front can be lifted by a floor jack in the center, using the second crossmember (near the oil pan?) and not the first (mine doesn't reach that far).

There have been a few posts that do not following the jacking points in this diagram. Does anyone know where this diagram came from?

TommyV

I hope it's correct. Maybe a Tech. (Maven?) can confirm it.

I saw that and seriously thought the front of the car was on the left....and the point on the right was the dif/tranny...then I looked at it again.

Is it the same for C5?

My preferred location is usually my bedroom, or possibly the bathroom.
