Front jacking point?

[Tim.]

Covered a million times I'm sure but struggling to find what I need.

Jacking up front just behind a bracket, on a box section that runs towards the back and tapers in slightly. Bad cracking noise suggested I stop. Where's the right place to jack up a 182 from? Front only.

On the sill, it's got a bit that comes down a little further.

Personally - I'd use either the jacking point on the sill (sills are made of cheese/plastic) or a subframe bolt.

Proper trolley jack, not the widowmaker Renault one !!

Like giraffe said, jack up on a subframe bolt as the sills will bend. Renault jacks are lethal so use a trolley jack.

Ooh you're still alive.

Congratumalations, you silly ASW

Jack up off the plate that meets the subframe from the box section.

Yh be very careful when jacking up on sills, the amount of clio 2's I see with collapsed sills is unbelievable.

Jacking on sills should be banned. Hate seeing them all folded over and curled up. Subframes FTW.

Mine are already fucked so big plate on trolley jack is fine.

Unfortunately I can't get my fronts so jack the rear up then on to the rear subframe bolts
