Depends on the car. Part of the frame, or the assembly line tractor points (On unibody cars, usually marked by two notches a few inches apart. Should be one at the front and rear between the wheels on the body seam weld.) are a good place to start.

Where do you place jackstands on impalas while lifting the car?

The safest place to place jack stands are under the frame. You need to jack the car high enough to keep the tires off the ground especially if you plan on working on the breaks or axles. Keep them away from the car WHILE lifting but place under the FRAME once the car is elevated.

Now, car body is on blocks, and diff in on jack stands, remove the lower bolt for the shocks, with the trolley jack remove the jack stands on the diff, and lower the diff. just enough so that you can pull the coil springs out.


How do you change transmission filter on a 2003 alero?

Get a jack two jack stands, jack the front of the car up and place the two jack stands under the car, then go to where the transmission is and take the bolt off, then there should be a filter that says transmission filter, the one that says transmission filter will tell you both what part of car you're draining the fluid from and the filter you are taking off. Transmission filters are generally smaller than oil filters. The bolt that you take out should be very close or on the other side touching the same part of the car. Then plug it up when its done draining then jack the car up, take the jack stands off and jack it down. Finally, open the hood and replace the transmission fluid.

When changing front shocks on a 91 2wd Ranger where should you place your jack stand and where should I put my hydraulic floor jack to initialy lift the front end?

You need to place the floor jack under the actual beam of the car frame. This is where 2 jacks may have to be put into play. You will need to jack up the car high enough to be able to release the old shocks from their bases. You may have to put a jack on blocks to jack the car high enough to achieve this. Put your stands on very stable blocks under the frame as well.

This is NOT a job for the untrained. First make sure it's as empty as it can be. Then you will need to have the car on a lift. Once it's in the air you will be able to see the bolts that hold it up. Place Jack Stands under it and lower to the jack stands. You'll need help!
