Best jack spots for 2001 protege

[larwilliams]

I found this forum using google and hope the kind people here can help someone who is about to begin working on their own car for the first time

I am wondering what are the safest jack spots to use on a 2001 Protege that has had both rocker panels replaced and is generally rusted along the floor panels and such. Where the cross members meet? I am looking to do several items over the next month (new struts, oil and trans fluid changes, new brake pads and rotors) and need to be as safe as possible. I got a good 2 ton low profile jack and stands with chocks.

Pictures of what to look for would be helpful!

from a safety aspect, the rear mount of the control arm is one of the most solid zones of the car. & far less likely to be rotted.

Any chance you could provide a pic showing where you are thinking of? I am still a little new to this and want to be sure it's the right spot.

Same for the front?

that is for the front.

for the rear, use the subframe itself.

Could you provide a pic of these sections with an arrow pointing to what you are thinking of? Very much a newb when it comes to the terminology and positioning of parts.
