If you read my earlier post and get the jack blocks $9.00 your car will never slip.Also your under carriage will look like new.And yes you should use the factory side lift points.If your car is lowered its a pain to use ramps and you cant rotate your tires.

ALWAYS use the front and rear jacking points when useing a floor jack.
The side spots are ONLY for the factory jack.

Where do you get these cut sheets from Mitsu? Service manual? If so, where can I get a 2005 Evo Service manual. All I have ever seen is 2004...
And yes, take a quick pic of your lift point, my curiousity is peaked while Im at work.

Thanks for the info about the jack points. I had been successful on the sides of the car so many times that I never thought much of it not being the BEST choice. Just to be clear, the accident wasnt because of the jack or where I jacked it, but mainly because of the use of the wooden block that gave it up. The floor jack does not have a flat rubber area or anything else, just like a three-pronged type of claw at the end.. you know that I mean.
Thanks again... Im glad we got all this information out here so maybe someone else either wont have this happen or will at least have some insight into how to fix it. That was my main point for this thread anyway, to help future searching.

I know its something I would get used to, but anyone else that drove it would be like "WTF?". Big red flag on trade-in day too, of course.
