Jack points for 2004 Elantra
If I don't use the supplied jack and want to purchase something
stronger, where should the jack be placed to raise the vehicle? |

Same place as with the original jack. On my 2004 Elantra the jack points are just behind the front wheels, under the driver's door, and just in front of the back wheels, under the passengers door.

Most replacement jacks have a flat plate which won't fit in the
designated locations. The origional jack has a slot in the top. |

That is true, but the flat plate will lift the car right on the seam. When you try it you'll see that it actually feels more secure than the original jack. And the plate is not truly flat, it does have "teeth" around the it to keep the lift location from falling off. Eric |

Use the pad behind the center tow hook at either end of he vehicle. Be sure to use jack stands to support the car after you jack it up. FWIW, I never jack up a car on the side, except in roadside emergencies. |
