I want to use the pinch welds to place my jack stands on, but can't find a place to jack the car up to get the jack stands underneath it. 2016 Kia Forte koup EX 2.0L

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! For your Forte Koup, in addition to the pinch welds, you can use the front and rear subframes as safe jack points. Locate the subframe just behind the engine bay at the front. You can usually lift the front end using a central jacking point. For the rear, look for the rear differential or the rear subframe's central point. These areas are designed to handle the weight and provide a secure jacking point. Always use a proper floor jack and ensure it’s centered before lifting. Once lifted, place your jack stands under the pinch welds for added safety. Be careful and make sure the car is secure before getting underneath it.
