If you read my earlier post and get the jack blocks $9.00 your car will never slip.Also your under carriage will look like new.And yes you should use the factory side lift points.If your car is lowered its a pain to use ramps and you cant rotate your tires.

 

you have a link or part number for these things? I can't seem to locate it on jc whitney...

ahhhhhhh.....this is how I felt after I sold my 240... I did the same thing....I just pounded it back into place with My FOOT.....it hurt..but My EVO is worth it.... Its still not that perfect..but better than it was....

 

I also want to know where these front and rear jacking points are. I only know of the side rails that the manual highlights...

 

speed lumps make cars go faster.

 

Here is a diagram of the jacking points.

The front one is covered by the under tray, so I use a bump on the support beam located in the red circle. If anyone needs me to take a pic, I'll do that.

 

Where do you get these cut sheets from Mitsu? Service manual? If so, where can I get a 2005 Evo Service manual. All I have ever seen is 2004...

And yes, take a quick pic of your lift point, my curiousity is peaked while Im at work.

 

If you got a picture that would be great!

 

Here is some pics.....

 

Thanks for the info about the jack points. I had been successful on the sides of the car so many times that I never thought much of it not being the BEST choice. Just to be clear, the accident wasnt because of the jack or where I jacked it, but mainly because of the use of the wooden block that gave it up. The floor jack does not have a flat rubber area or anything else, just like a three-pronged type of claw at the end.. you know that I mean.

Thanks again... Im glad we got all this information out here so maybe someone else either wont have this happen or will at least have some insight into how to fix it. That was my main point for this thread anyway, to help future searching.

 

no i havn't fixed it, its like right in the corner kinda like by the passenger side seat, and where the carpet goes up onto the door sill, its a really hard place to get a peice of wood and a good swing with a hammer.

 

I think its called the subframe.
