ef jack stand points...

Already did a search.
I was wondering where a safe place to jack the car up on the front and the rear would be on a CRX. The metal plates where the factory jack goes have been removed, so i'm not sure where a safe place would be. I was thinking the control arms...but I don't want to risk bending them because the car will be up for more than a month.
Thanks

preach on brutha, if the control arms were going to bend, they would have bent when the car first saw pavement

I just used to jack up the front using the lower rad support (get the front up both sides at the same time then I would also put the jackstands up front at the 2 ends of the rad support...for the rear I use the rear tow hook to jack and then the frame rails for the jack stands

I dont use the factory jack points on any 88-91 regardless on how nice it looks!

on a hoise see if they have a drive on hoist and then get it up on the fram rails...but stock locations on a hoist is usually okay since the weight it evenly distributed
