Scissor jack only for the HHR?

Has anyone used a floor jack with the HHR and what jack point did you use?

I always use one at home. I put it under the jack points or under the "A" arms on the front also use jack stands under the "A" arms. Jack points on the rear and use jack stands under the axel on the rear. I do this when I rotate the tires.

I use my floor jack at the jack points, but made a block with a channel to fit over the bead area. Same on my 02 Impala. You can also by floor jack adapters.

Same here, only difference is I got a low profile jack since both our HHRs are lowered.

I use a floor jack with the Eastwood adapter an08HHR noted.

I use the normal jack points, but haven't been able to use my jack stands due to uneven pavement in the carport.

The adapter that Eastwood shows on their site can be purchased at Mr Tool for one third the price, but it currently out of stock.

Black Rose, I couldn't find that before. Funny that is the one I gave you a long time back and then I post the one you did back then. I made a note of it this time. Same item 1/3 the price.

I remembered that someone had found a cheaper version of the one I bought so I went looking for it again. I just searched for Eastwood.

I got a chuckle when I saw it was you that had found the cheaper one and then posted the Eastwood link this time around :)
