Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Where are the best places to jack a 996 when not using the tire changing jack? Does anyone have any pictures?

POST 2Original post

It's the same as for a jack if you are using a lift. Under the four reinforced holes, behind the front tires and in front of the rear tires. If you are using a regular jack, there is a hole in the bottom of the car, in front of the rear tire, maybe 1" in diameter, fairly close to the edge of the car. It's reinforced with metal. Place the jack plate there and you can lift both front and back wheels. Use a rubber top jack plate, or a plate with a metal cylinder that fits up into the hole. I use the rubber top as it works very well and is easy.

POST 3Original post

If you just have a metal cradle on your fllor jack, place an old hockey puck between it and the jacking point.... good luck

POST 4Original post

Seriously, like they said.

POST 5Original post

Jack only from the designed jacking points under the rockers. A good low profile floor jack works best as long as it has a large enough saddle to fit below the jacking points.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I did read the manual but I've read the manual on other cars and placed a regular jack at it's factory jack points as I jacked the frame started to bend. I though I'd ask first this time in hopes of getting pics before bending the frame again.

POST 7Original post

Just jacking with you man. Check out the jacking plates Ralph Boothe and others sell for the 996, they work very well unless you have an aerokit, a hockey puck works too.

POST 8Original post

When you slide the jack under the jacking points, whichever one you choose, just make sure that the jack plate/saddle is squarely under the jacking points and not the framework. Slide the jack under the points, and bend down and look for the actual point and make sure the point "seats" properly under the points otherwise you are likely to bend metal.
