Ok, i know you can jack up the car from the sub-frames(and that pad thing on the front), or SFC's if you have them. There is the rear axel.
But what about if i just wanted to get the front wheels off the ground. I would have to get them off the ground, so ramps are not an option. Can you use the K-member?? Im talking about that skid-plate looking thing infront of the oil pan. Is that ok to lift with so i can get the jack stands under the sub-frames?
Thanks. Gotta put on new brakes soon.

 

I use the K member. If you want to keep from putting dents in it, use something for a cushion between it and your jack. Just don't use something that will slip.

 

What's the K-Member? Is that the "A-Frame" that holds the wheels there? You could jack the car up by the engine brace? But I prefer to use the "A-Frame" as someone once told me they were called?

 

Thats what i and several other F-Body owners I know use to jack up the front of the car evenly. Works great.

 

K-member, front sub-frame, front crossmember (official term), engine cradle...all the same thing. The big, honkin' thing that is under the front of the oil pan and the power steering rack is bolted to.

 

Yeah, it's not just big, it's honkin' big!
