In case you are here just for how to jack up the front of the Hyundai, skip to 8:48. The first portion of the video covers jack safety and basics. You can also refer to the video chapters.
Many times the Pinch rails bend (or even worst are corroded). I try to use a rag or something too, so the jack or stand doesn't gnarl into the metal creating a new rust point. These newer cars have very little surface for the jack to contact, & now have plastic panels covering these points. I always prefer ramping for oil changes, I hate working under stands & jacks.
You can jack and have the jack-stands at the pinch weld. I have heard some folks bend the pinch weld so just be mindful of that. Maybe get a rubber puck for the jack so it can also provide more friction. But yes you can jack the car from the pinch weld. The owners manual has you use the scissor jack there.
I am trying to find a jack up spot from Hyundai I30 (2013 model). I have a floor jack with a smaller plate (4.5cm diameter = 1.77 inches). Do you think I can also find the spot from same place as in your car? I was also thinking of using a hard plastic adapter between the car and jack.
I’m not familiar with the exact layout but you just need a solid piece of steel that can withstand the weight like the subframe, pinch weld, lower control arms, differentials, etc. good luck.
I just want to know safe jacking points. I hate new vehicles. It used to be simple but not now days with vehicles that don't have frames to jack the vehicle up on it makes it nerve racking. Normally I wouldn't be so considered but rotating tires requires jacking up say front right and rear left. I have three floor jacks and plenty of stands but it's a pain in the butt. I can't find a decent video on good jacking points on a new vehicle and it's driving me insane.
Yes it is a pain. Usually the owner’s manual will show you some. You can also google the make and model and jacking points and find results. There are some similar places to jack like the subframe, pinch weld, differential, etc but it is not something you want to guess on.
@@learnsavediy yeah the problem is it only shows for the jack that comes with the car not a floor jack and newer cars at least mine do not have the typical frame like older vehicles do. I've never had this problem with older cars that's for sure.
I appreciate the video but 10 minutes and 40 seconds before you get to the part where you're doing the actual title of the video? Just do what you're doing you can always go back and add that or tell people to skip ahead or something that was brutal sift through
The video has chapters so you can skip the basics and go directly to the jacking up the Hyundai. I’ll make sure to add a note in the actual video going forward if there will be a lengthy introduction. My hope was to inform people so they have the most info possible especially if they hadn’t done something like this before so they’d be safe, have the right tools, and be more confident.

Thank you! Great video, made me feel much better about working under the car with all your helpful safety tips.
Thank you so much! This is truly helpful and exactly answers my query!
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
Just what I needed, thanks
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching. Cheers!
Great video thanks
You’re welcome!
@@learnsavediy i like how you explain things thoroughly. I appreciate that👍🏽

Good tip. I have noticed after the first couple times I used the pinch rails they started to bend so no more lifting from there!
Hello,
Can you put the jack and lift the car directly on the point where you put the jackstand ?

Thank you for sharing.
More coming soon!

Jack stand rating info is wrong 3 tons each
As of 2014 that is not true. ASME standards consider the rating for the pair, not individually.
