From: Dale on 14 Oct 2007 10:44 Where do you place the jack stands when you jack up a Avalon or Camry. If the jack is located where you're supposed to put it, where the two marks are ahead of the rear wheels, where do you put the jackstands?

From: Raven on 14 Oct 2007 20:27 On the Camry there are a couple of notches in the ridges running along the bottom of the rocker panels on each side. I've seen documentation (http://www.camrymanuals.com/) that says this is where you support from. These are the same notches you would use to jack a single corner at a time for a roadside tire change. The floor jack points are between the rear wheels and under the front frame (I think you need to remove the panel under the front bumber/radiator area to see it). I intend to try this out myself the next oil change/tire rotation on my '07 as I was not overly impressed by dealer practices on my initial oil change.
