You know I just had mine on ramps this past Sat for an oil change. :lol: But If I remember corrently, the points I was using was a little more forward and inward of the stock jacking locations. I remember using the floor jack for the front and the scissor jack for the rear on the same side. It's been a while now, I'm just about due the next rotation. I'l have to double check it again. But I know nothing came close to bending and my floor jack has the standard round lift plate with the 4 raised points. I don't see how you would bend anything unless you just used the wrong spot to lift from. I know when had the nail in the tire from the roofers, I used my floor jack on the stock location on the right front to pull the tire. No issues at all. If I remember, I'll look tonight. I have to work on the wifes and will try not to forget.

Looks like they either provide a different engine or they come standard with REAL dual converters and exhaust into one muffler.:D J/K

Looks that way to me too

Look here for some floorjack adaptors to avoid damaging the bottom of the car.

We have the steering wheel on the right side, and drive on the left, the right is for peasants

Even us expat Brits get inline V engines in our HHRs, what do you get??;)

I'm not getting the comment about jacking the rear by the middle though, on mine there's the fuel tank, then the flex beam for the rear suspension, then the EGR kit, then the spare wheel well running back along the centerline, nothing that looks solid enough to lift on. I've a suspicion that the lifting advice, like the diagram, is generic information about RWD vehicles.

The question still remains....where are those round jack points?

According to the pic, you jack it up on the running boards? :eek:
