    Are you placing the floor jack on the base of the crankcase or between the crankcase cover and base of the crankcase? Not sure if im making sense but I will be lifting my subie up for the first time to do some work and the crankcase seems like a very compromising jack point. Thanks!

    At the time of this video, was your vehicle running at stock ride height? I only ask because I, too, have a 2021 WRX and I’m in the market for a new jack to replace my current one. The jack you have looks great, but I’m wondering if I should spring for an even longer/lower-profile jack to avoid using wood blocks or mini ramps just to reach that front jack point.

      It was/am at stock height. I DO recommend going with a lower jack for your exact reasons!

    silly question, are you leaving the car in gear when lifting only the rear end up? im going to use wheel chalks as well, just do not want to cause any diff damage. am i over thinking how delicate the diffs are?

      🤔 I do leave it in gear, but honestly I didn’t even think of that! I haven’t had any issues yet, but I’m only at 35k. Don’t know if anyone wants to chime in on this?

      @1982cleveland well, it worked out well. I saw a lot of other recommendations saying it was a good idea to leave it in gear to prevent the car from rolling. Never have seen anything saying it's too much strain on the diff. I just did it, and the car still drives, so that's a bonus.

    How many tons can the jack handle?

    Dude, at 34 seconds when you start to apply pressure with the jack to the rear diff, the entire differential moves up before anything else thinks about moving. That can’t be good

    if you need a video to show you how to jack up your car, you probably shouldn't be jacking up your car

      Disagree. Everyone starts somewhere.

      That's not true. Most people would use the jack points on the side. But of course that only offers you the ability to do one at a time. Most don't know about the front and the rear. So a video for that is helpful even for the weekend warrior.

      He’s showing the exact recommended jacking points to lift the front and rear at once…I don’t see what the fuss is about since it’s almost impossible on the (VB’s especially) getting a jack stand while jacking from the jacking points near the wheels. This video was quite helpful for even the seasoned mechanic.. just my 2 cents and thanks for the upload!
