Where to Put Jack Stands Under a Ford Escape
When it comes to placing jack stands under a Ford Escape, there are a few recommended locations based on the information from the search results. Here are the key points to consider:
1. Front Jack Stand Placement: One user on the Ford Escape Automobiles Forum suggests using the lower control arm, which attaches to the “U-shaped piece in the middle,” as a lifting point for the front of the vehicle. They place the jack stands as close to the tire as possible.
2. Rear Jack Stand Placement: Another user on the same forum recommends using the rear factory recommended jack spot for placing the jack stands when lifting the rear of the vehicle.
3. Underbody Lifting Points: The owner’s manual of the Ford Escape should provide information on the specific lifting points on the bottom of the vehicle. These lifting points are typically located at the corners of the car and are easy to recognize.
It’s important to note that the information provided is based on user experiences and recommendations from online forums. To ensure safety and accuracy, it is always recommended to consult the owner’s manual of your specific Ford Escape model for the manufacturer’s recommended lifting points.
