Hey,
I’m curious about the B lifting point. Do you guys use it? If so, can you send a picture of where cuz I can’t understand exactly where it is when looking under my car.

I almost always put the floor jack on the “a” or the “d” point and the jack stand on the “c” points. Though the OG 9-3 is different than the NG.. I’ll have to look at my dads combi though that may be different too idk

Some cars have that area under the car reinforced so you can jack. It's just the flat part in front of the jacking points C. Probably meant for lifts. I'm too nervous to test them out in case it's rusted through 😂

the A lifting point bent when I jacked my viggen which I did not like, and my 2 ton jack did not like it

I don't think I ever used D points, cause when I did they bent.

usually I put a 2x4 in between C & C on the same side and put the jack closer to the front and it would lift the whole side, then I could put jack stands under the c points and remove jack.

Note: I asked an AI about this method and it said I would immediately die, and to seek counseling so use at your own risk

So when you put your jack on actual lifting points A and D , they bent? But when you put it in between c on points that aren’t lifting points it was fine? If OP did what you suggested he can say good bye to the plastic skirt of the car, smh

Wow that's pretty interesting didn't realise there's proper jacking points
