First, 88' means eighty-eight feet. Do you mean '88?

Second, there should be a pad directly below the jack-hole, lift there.

Oh, my ignorance. Yes, a 1988 year model car.


Thanks for the replies.

Careful when using the factory jack....Chock those wheels!! I had our 300E roll off the factory jack Thankfully it still had the wheels on and nothing bad happened. Thats the one thing I don't like about the factory jack, its not very stable unless you lock the wheels very well.

Thanks for that advice. Yeah, the jack looked tipsy to me.

Well, I went out alittle while ago and felt that "pad" under there that one was referring to. I will probably use a floor jack at that area if it is indeed a sturdy area to use when raising the back of the car.

Naturally, one of the pads on the back is missing.... had to place a block of wood there.
