Haven't done alot of work on my cars the last several years due to limited available time. However, am planning on starting to do some things again.

Where are the best places to jack up (that's up!) the car using a trolley jack in both the front and rear on the Altima?

I know a bunch of you know, so thanks ahead of time.

Jack positions

Oops, a little giganto on the picture, but at least you can see the points well

That looks the positions for a shop 2 pole lift.

Any pics for floor jack lift points?

Look at the picture again....

There are the side points and it says "safety stand" at the bottom of the picture.

AT THE TOP of the picture says "garage jack" and has the circles in the dead center of the car.

I dont see what they want you to jack at those circled spots at center. You really cant jack a car from center, even old RWD solid axles were tough to jack by the pumpkins.

No problem in back, but the exhaust is dead center in the front.

I would guess that they are saying anywhere under that wishbone frame area.

on our 99, the lift points are the same. Don't know if the 02's have it but the front point is a brace that goes across the front and is under the exhaust pipes.

I knew it, you can see the crushed length of pipe in that photo.

Yes, use jack stands if you plan on using the supplied jack (in the trunk). My car FELL after jacking-up my driver's side front end to install my CAI. Fortunately, both my friend and I weren't even near the car when the car fell. Nissan said I didn't properly block all the tires after jacking the car up. (Where are you going to get blocks if you get a flat on the road?)

Either way, get jack stands AND properly block your vehicle.
