Lifting Points
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Lincoln Town Car. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
To prevent possible damage to the underbody, do not drive the vehicle onto the drive-on hoist without first checking for clearance.
CAUTION:
When raising a vehicle on a twin-post hoist, use care when positioning the vehicle so that the hoisting forks do not interfere with the suspension components, mounting brackets or stabilizer mounting brackets, if equipped. In addition, use care in hoist positioning to avoid possible damage to the axle carrier or rear cover.
Check for interference between the upright flanges of the hoist rails and the underbody.
If an interference exists, modify the hoist flanges or build up the approach ramps as necessary to provide clearance.
CAUTION:
Damage to the suspension, exhaust or steering linkage components may occur if care is not exercised when positioning the hoist adapters prior to lifting the vehicle.
CAUTION:
Under no circumstances should the vehicle be lifted by the control arms, crossmember or rear control arms. Severe damage to the vehicle could result.
NOTE:
Wheel adapters must be used under the tires when lifting the vehicle with a single-post hoist.
Lift the vehicle at the applicable lift points.
