Front lifting place for a trollyjack on 03 WRX
Hi All
Been reading through the forum trying to find where to put my trolly jack to lift the front of y 03 WRX so I can put stands underneath it.
Been searching and found a good place for the rear (under the rear diff with a piece of wood to stop metal to metal damage) and I know where to jack up one side (using the subaru scissor jack, on the sill) and also the front for a classic (on the jack plate).
However, my 03 scooby has a large plastic cover under the whole engine bay and I can't see anything remotely like the front strut or plate as in other threads as the plastic tray is obscuring everything.
I suppose I could jack up one side at a time, put the stand under and do the other but I don't really want to do that as :
1) The trolly jack way flatten the side jack points on the sill
2) Surely it would put undue stress on the car
3) There must be somewhere I can jack up the entire front and put both stands under at once
I've read in other threads to use the towing eyes - I don't know where they are / what they are. i have a towing eye on the back but the only towing eye I have on the front is unscrewed in the boot with the tyre iron with no obvious place to screw it in!
Any photos would help - can take some photos myself to stop the confusion!
Cheers
Andy

Past the plastic undertay there is a small square section which can be used for jacking up the front of the car. It seems far back as I did not notice it at first but there is a place there. Sorry for the vague description.
