#1 of 1 2001 Chevy Cavalier by br0nxb0mb Sep 15, 2009 (4:58 pm)
Hey guys. New to the forum. My g/f has a 2001 cav coupe with the 2.2 (I don't think its the ecotech). Changing her oil for the first time. I have a floor jack/stands. Wanting to know where the best lift point for the jack would be. I want to raise the whole front end and use the stands on the pinch welds. That's how I do it on my Subie and it works well. Wanting to know where the safest spot is, and what to look for before I climb under there for the first time. Cross member, rad support, tow hooks, what am I looking for? Also how accessable is the filter, I have heard some horror stories about removing the intake, but assuming that's not really necessary. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
