I am still not sure myself as to where GM thinks we should jack in the front. I jacked using the LIFT points. The tech sheet seems to inidcate that you should jack at the "knuckle" where the front suspension arm connects to the frame. You can get the "Mr. Goodwrench" jack under there from the front, but operating the lever to get the car off the ground is limited for the first 2-3 cycles. As Susan (I think

) mentioned, the cross member between these two knuckles should also be safe to use.

I still maintain that two good PHOTOGRAPHS from GM would solve this whole thing. I think I'll email them here in a moment.

EDIT: Just ran off an email (10:58 pm CST, 10/20/2006) to GM to ask for this very thing. I will post when/if I hear back from them.
