    Hi everyone. So I have read seveal threads about how to put a 360 on a variety of different lifts to work on it. We have a two post lift (symetrical arms) and I understand the lift points are the front curved crossmember just behind and inside front wheel and the round hole/indentation in the rear underbody panel just in front of rear wheels. As I understand it the rear point is the center of balance for the car so the question is if you use these points (and I have seen pictures here with cars on lifts using these points) won't the car be "unstable" on the lift or am I missing something? Would like to know before I actually try it
    Thanks

    You can use the rear lifting point to raise one side of the car with a floor jack.
    I WOULD NOT raise the entire car on a lift using just 2 lifting points.

    I use the factory lifting points on my asymmetrical lift with no problem.
