I gained access to a car lift and want to put my FWD up...before I do...I need to know where the jack points are (rear's for sure) we got a Quattro up no problem...just don't see the FWD points?

Thanks in advance!

Don't FWDs have the rubber bumpers for rear jack points?

They are inboard from the pinch weld, and directly ahead of the rear wheels. Here are Bentley's pics, but BEWARE... the pics don't look like my 180QC. The rubber hockey-puck-like bumper looks the same, but the location appears different in person.

The rubber donuts tend to collapse after some use .They're probably your best bet on a lift though.You can see evidence of this in the front pic.I've found that the car can be jacked from the front of the center rails(middle of the car)&amp; also from the pinch welds( front &amp; back).I'd get under there &amp; look how it's lining up on the lift.You don't want it collapsing the rocker panels if the lift makes contact there.The two jacks in the first pic are possible locations for the front . In the rear see if the lift makes contact w/ the donut or under the rear suspension. It's not a easy car to jack IMO. The places are very specfic.

Strange that a part designed specifically to lift the car would be so flimsy.

the undercoating is coming off from repeated jacking.Have to get those rubber gizmos they sell at JCWhitney.

Take a hockey puck, saw a groove into it and use it in your jack saddle.
