Frame Contact Lift Points-Taurus/Sable:

Taurus/Sable) When using a floor jack, raise the front of the vehicle by positioning a floor jack under either the sub-frame or body side rail behind the engine support bracket (See above Illustration).

The rear may be lifted by positioning a floor jack under either rear suspension body bracket (See above Illustration).

CAUTION: Under no circumstances should the vehicle ever be lifted by the front or rear control arms. Severe damage to the vehicle could result.
Hoisting Instructions For hoisting and lifting locations, refer to above Illustration.

Front The front adapters or hoist pads must be carefully positioned in contact with the front body rail, behind the suspension arm-to-body bracket to ensure safe, accurate lifting.

Rear The rear hoist adapters must be carefully positioned to avoid damage to the tie rod and tie rod bracket. The hoist rails should be raised slowly and the position of the adapters checked.

Note: Do not allow the adapters to contact the steering linkage, suspension arms, stabilizer bar, or compress the stabilizer bar link insulators.

Damage to suspension, exhaust and/or steering linkage components may occur if care is not exercised when positioning the hoist adapters prior to lifting the vehicle.
