Are there specific jack point to jack up the rear? Not the control arm because i have some suspension work to do. Appreciate it?

owners manual??

Look in your manual it shows the jack points in there,they are on the side of the car one on each side right in front of the rear tires. Also there is a flat spot in between the rear control arms that you can jack from too.

Well my rear control arm is on the floor in my garage, so thats why i stated that above, and i dont have a owners manual, thats why i asked.. but thanks for the responses.

there are three spots in the back, two along the sides in front of either wheel and one on the tow hook.

never on the tow hook. If you go a little deeper where the two control arms meet there is a piece of the frame I will show you a pic.

The rear cross member. Its right after the gas tank.

you can use the tow hook.

Here this is from battle endless thread

It is right below the Blue bar.

well depending on the jack you have and the surface area of the jack head I would just prefer using the jack point i just said to lift it up. also I don't want to rely on a little surface area to lift up my car when i have a ton more just a couple inches away

Thanks! Now the blue brace, what is it holding together? The tie rod right?

Connects the two lower control arms.... well not really connects them but is supposed to add more rigidity...

DOH the blue is an aftermarket thing. The jack point i am referring to is the frame the blue thing is connected to. right in the dead center. and it is held together by the lower arm control bolts. regularly there is nothing there. battle endless sells something that is suppose to hold everything together to add rigidity

mm. K I was wrong. Are they hard to put back on when they're off the car?

 

[asndragonboii]

If you only have 1 jack and want to jack both sides up at once, the service manual states to use the tow hook. Then use jack stands.

 

[skunk2civic]

just unbolted from one side, do I need any type of special tool to re bolt it back up? The reason why I'm asking is because mine is laying on my garage floor till I get new endlinks.

 

[[hwy]Hagen]

???? is what hard and taking what off?

 

[skunk2civic]

The control arm. It's not fully off the car, just where they meet up in the middle, the bolt was all corroded so I pulled it off and slowly lowered the right control arm, is it going to be a pain the butt to put back on?

 

[[hwy]Hagen]

you may just need a helping hand.
put the jack under the control arm( or right under the spring cause I would expect the spring to give alot of resistance.) and slowly raise it till the bolt slides through the hole. you may need a spotter to help you guide the bolt.
I think that may work..
