Rear Hoist Pads

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Pontiac Montana, 2003 Oldsmobile Silhouette, and 2003 Chevrolet Venture. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION: The rear hoist pads must not contact the rocker panels, the rear fenders, the floor pan, or the stone guard moldings.

When lifting the vehicle with a frame-contact lift, place the rear lift pads at the rear suspension trailing arm-to-body pivots. These areas are identified on the vehicle with an equilateral triangle.
