Description And Operation: Lifting: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Montego, 2006 Ford Freestyle, and 2006 Ford Five Hundred. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Do not allow the lift arms, pads or adapters to contact the front or rear control arms, halfshafts, front wheel constant velocity (CV) joints, steering linkage, stabilizer bar, or compress the stabilizer bar link insulators. Damage to suspension, exhaust and steering linkage components may occur if care is not exercised when positioning the lift adapters prior to lifting the vehicle.
NOTE:
Adapters may be necessary to clear vehicle components to lift the vehicle safely. The adapters must be placed at the 4 designated contact points. Position the adapters so they are centered on the adapter contact area.
Refer to the applicable procedure in this article to lift the vehicle.
