yes. thank you for this. i know its seems super basic, but sometimes its hard to ask such a basic question when it seems like we should all just know. thank you for sharing!
Thanks! I saved this. I’m always concerned jacking up the front from the pinch welds because I wasn’t comfortable trying to squeeze the jack stand in there on the same pinch weld. I knew about using the rear diff but I loved the variety of options you provided. Keep up the helpful vids for us that need more detailed instruction. Now I’ve gotta get these wheels swapped! Later!
Finally decided to do some maintenance and upgrades on the MY17 STI myself instead of going to the dealership. I have had it since new. This is very helpful. Thanks from Australia.
You have no idea how many times I've come back to watch your videos, such as this one. Simple and straight to the point. Although, I'm not sure why it says I haven't subscribed to your channel. Which I thought I had? Either way, I'll subscribe again.. For context, we've owned Subaru vehicles since the late 80s/early 90s. Currently/still own our '20 STI (as well as a few others, such as my daily, a B9 Audi S4).
Great video, sometimes the obvious spots are questionable and this is good clarification. Plus, that jack is pretty legit, might have to pick that model up.
Nice video! Scoobyfreak86 also made one showcasing how he jacks the car from the side of the car using the section in the middle so that you can get one side of the car up easily. Would also love to see a video on recommended maintenance schedule for the car. Keep up the great work!
FYI - if anyone else is trying to install any aero like a lip or skirt on stock height, that pittsburg low profile jack barely clears it. (My skirt ended up making contact and bending slightly against the jack, but I was able to pull it out under the car without damaging it)
One thing many people overlook or don't even consider is the surface you're using the floor jack on. Make sure it's clear of debris and cracks. If the wheels on the jack are kept from rolling the jack can slip off your jacking point. I noticed you were very close to the concrete joint when you were jacking up the rear of the car, 2-3 more pumps and you might have slid the pad off the rear diff.
Forgot to ask you if this was the extended reach/low profile jack or regular reach? In other words; Is it, part number # 64241 or Part number # 70486. As previously mentioned, I've seen the video a ton of times lol but to me it looks to be an extended reach jack, you have in this video.
@@STi_Alan You are the man!!! I have been checking part numbers since you posted this and have yet to match anything to that 😵💫 I'll just go and match your description in hopes to get something similar. As the nearest one is about an hour from me. Thanks once again. I hope your new endeavors are working out for you, my friend.. 🦾
the scissor jack is for emergency use/situations only, like on the side of the road. DO NOT use it as your primary lifting jack; because it was never meant to be used in such a manner. Get a primary lifting jack to store in your house/garage.
yes. thank you for this. i know its seems super basic, but sometimes its hard to ask such a basic question when it seems like we should all just know. thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching! Yes It's one of those simple things that sometimes goes overlooked but very important to know
New car guy. you'd be surprised how hard it was to find out anything about jacking up my wrx aside from the 4 points. Thank you very much
Yay!! I'm glad I could help! ✌️

Nice, I'm happy you found my video helpful! Have fun with the maintenance and upgrades!
I have the same jack but didn't know you can jack the front from that point! Going to try this next time on the WRX, thanks for the video!
Awesome! Yea the front jacking point comes in handy, especially for oil changes

Great video, sometimes the obvious spots are questionable and this is good clarification. Plus, that jack is pretty legit, might have to pick that model up.
Thank you!! Ikr!? I spent a lot of time researching the right spots the first time I jacked it up. And it's been so far so good with the jacks!

I went and checked my order details from Harbor Freight and it looks like I have the "3 ton low profile floor jack with rapid pump" Item #56617

Well said!
I don't know about you but I make sure my jack is not on the differential cover. Just the diff
been looking for clarification on this- thanks!
Where did you get those jack stands
I bought mine on Amazon but you can get these Esco Jack stands from similar online shops or maybe even some auto parts stores
does your car/suspension area creak when you jack up from the side notch?
I haven't noticed any creaking when jacking from the side notch
how is this a real video?? haha
Is this a fake video!?
