Lifting Points

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Ford Pickup, 2007 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2007 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2007 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

WARNING: When raising a vehicle on a twin-post hoist, use extreme care positioning the hoisting forks to avoid interference with the plastic midship fuel tank.

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 shock absorber mounting brackets or stabilizer mounting brackets, if so equipped, or damage the axle carrier or rear cover.

CAUTION: Damage to suspension, exhaust and steering linkage components can occur if care is not exercised when positioning the hoist adapters prior to lifting the vehicle.
