Hi guys
Can anyone tell me where the trolley jack points are on my 2004 fever? I need to replace a track rod end.

You need a chunky piece of timber between jack head and car. You put the jack under the box sections that run under the side of the car.

On low car you can't get the trolley jack under the subframe.

Very interested in this one..
As I have trouble understanding what exactly is meant by sills and sub-frame,
would it be possible someone sorts out a pic with arrows on it?
I would like to use a trolley jack and stands.

sills are were you jack up using scissor jack. rear axle/wishbone/subframe are decent enough points for a trolley jack

Wishbones aren't designed to be loaded along their length.
