Jack Points for a 2006 s500??
Hey guys, I am changing my own brakes this weekend thanks to many of you on here. Even though I have done many DIYs on cars, never on my s500. Can anyone tell me if I have to disable anything on the car before I use a floor jack on it. Also, can you tell me the safest point to locate the jack underneath the car. I checked the manual but it was no help.
Just wanna keep it safe!!
Pics or specific descriptions would be appreciated!

As you look under the car, you'll find 4 rubber jack points in the door sills, where you can apply a regular hydraulic car jack. I would not use the one supplied in the car, they are to flimsy for "real" work.

Last 3 times ive jacked up the car I was going to use my floor jack there too. However, the second I saw the side skirt start to flex, I got the stock jack and used the jack point. The stock jack will support the car and you can jack up the front with the floor jack supporting it under engine mounts or crossmembers.
