Safest place to jack up a Protege...?
 

an 03' ES to be exact.

I did a search and found an earlier topic about this, but nobody seemed able to give a sure answer....

I'd like some more opinions, if possible.

Read the manual

are you trying to lift corner, front, back, whole car....what?!?!

Sorry - front.

you want to lift the whole front of the car in the air? if you look just off-center (driversside) there will be a black crossmember that runs from the front of the engina bay to the rear. On this bar is a knob. place the cup of the jack on this knob and it'll rest perfectly.

Jack it up slowly...if the engine moves and the car doesn't then you've got it in the wrong place.

And it's guaranteed that there'll be no bending or snapping, eh?

i don't make any promises on any work YOU do. If you want to pay for me to jack your car up I promise nothing will break.

we jack the car up anywhere there aren't streetglow LED light bars ;)
