[QUOTE="gone, post: 232948, member: 5899"] There are 4 lift points on the bottom of the C8 and they are along the side and near each wheel. They each have an oblong shape and the top of each jack pad matches that oblong shape. The top of the jack pads are inserted, then twisted to tighten. I'm describing the on/off type of jack pads, as opposed to the ones inserted and left in. You then put the jack or garage hoist pads, under the jack pad so it doesn't contact the undercarriage of the car itself and bend/damage anything, and the weight of the car is properly supported. I'd recommend you find a YouTube video showing you all this; there are lots available and it's important to know, especially if you take your C8 into a garage that's not familiar with Corvettes. There are also 4 small circular holes (about 7/8" in diameter) near each corner of the C8 undercarriage, which some initially confused for "jack points". These are meant as tie-down locations for the tarp, when shipping the car. So they are NOT to be used as lift points. Then the debate is where else you can find lift points, over and above the 4 spots for the jack pads/pucks. Some suggest the wheel struts but others disagree. GM has apparently released other locations but those require removal of the lower protective trays in order to find them. All of this info can be found on the Web. Good luck with your C8! [/QUOTE]
