If you want to lift up your Ford Focus, you can see right under this pinch weld on the body, that's where you want to place your jack. You could also, if you want to jack up each wheel, right under this control arm here is a good spot. You can put your jack there, jack it up, and then put your safety stands right under here. It's the same thing with this side over here. You can jack up here. Back up in the front, it's the same thing. Right under the body weld here is where you want to put your lift or jack stands.

If you did want to jack up a wheel, you can lift it up here under the control arm, or here under the body, sorry, under the carriage. You can lift it up here under the control arm, or under the carriage. You don't want to lift it here. That's the transmission. Obviously you don't want to lift it up under here. This is all the engine. You can lift it up under the control arm, or the carriage. Again put your safety stand over here.
