Jacking points and Axle stand?

jamesjohn

Hello, it would be very helpful if someone posted pics of safe jacking points ( highlighted with a circle) and axle stand points under the front of vectra .

I want to centre the trolley jack from front and lift the car and support both the sides using axle stands. Its just that I dont want to jack up or use axle stands in some weak points and cause damage
Pics with markings would be really really appreciated.

many thanks

you must NEVER jack the front wishbones on a vectra B

the way to jack it up is,

place the jack on the subframe [just in front of where the wishbones meet it]

place the axle stands on the chassis rails either side [near where two sections meet]

you can only really jack up one side at a time

hi, i have marked some points as 'J' by suspension lower arms, is that the subframe?

jack at the oblong red bits and the axle stands go further back than the dodgy red X's 🙂
