Boxster On Jack Stands?

[JackG]

The Bently manual suggests jacking up the front end at a point about six inches forward and inboard from the factory jack points. There's a bit of exposed frame rail there, and I use a piece of 2x6 on top of my floor jack to spread out the load. With the jack going in there at an angle, there's just enough room to place jack stands at the factory jack points once it's raised.

After doing both fronts, place the jack on the frame member that runs between the rear wheels dead in the center. There are two studs and nuts there that secures the sheet metal brace (the flat metal pan) that covers a portion of the rear of the car. Note that this sheet metal brace also has two bolts at the rear just in front of the mufflers. This is NOT the correct place to jack up the car, the place you want is at the front of that brace in between the rear tires. Once the rear is raised, place your rear stands and you're ready to go.
