Lifting Points

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Milan, 2006 Lincoln Zephyr, and 2006 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION: Under no circumstances should the vehicle be lifted by the front control arms, front cross braces or rear control arms. Severe damage to the vehicle could result.

CAUTION: Do not allow the lift adapters to contact the steering linkage, suspension arms, front cross braces, stabilizer bar, or to compress the lower suspension arm stabilizer bar insulator. Damage to the suspension, exhaust and steering linkage components may occur if care is not exercised when positioning the lift adapters prior to lifting the vehicle.
