This nice piece of seasoned wood was a perfect
fit between the control arms. All I had to do was loosen the muffler bolt to get some clearance.
This is on a '95 SE.

I think dragging that jack around on that rock driveway
would of pushed my frustration button.

The FSM calls that out as a floor jack lift point.

With two cars in the garage and two out in the driveway..........I have a similar stoned driveway so I feel his pain.

I always jack the whole front up on both cars from the front center. SLEeper's hitch makes a great point to jack the whole rear.
I can literally rotate tires with two jacks on the SLE and rock the car back and forth.

I didn't know that was a jack point. The metal didn't look that sturdy.
The gravel driveway is easy. I used to live on the 3rd floor & had to lug that beast up & down whenever I needed it.

I think the FSM says to use a block of wood like you did.
