Default Jack location frame pad

Has anyone had to replace one of the frame pads for jacking up the Crossfire? I seem to be missing the front one on the passenger side of my '04.

I'm missing one on each side but no worries cause you can still jack up your car at those points and it won't hurt it. In my opinion they are cheap and meant to break off anyways so I wouldn't worry about replacing them.

Guys, I know this is a really dumb question, but I want to jack the car up and put it on jack stands. If I jack it up at the jack locations, where would I then put the jack stands?

I put mine right behind the tire then jack up the other end of the car. Just don't go too high with the jack stands.

In the rear, use the rear diff pumpkin, in the front, use either of the control arms. Use a nice rubber pad with either of these locations

Thanx. For an owner, I know very little of these cars. I basically bought mine and stuck it in the garage for the duration of the winter. What is the differential pumpkin and what should I be looking for under the car.

The rear differential is the pumpkin shaped device located halfway between your rear wheels on the axle in the center of the car. When you get under the car and look up from the rear, you can not miss it. Just make sure to put blocks in front of the appropriate wheels and use the parking brake when necessary - don't want it starting to roll when half of it is in the air

Hope this helps.
