Where to Place the Jack for a Corolla?
2 Answers
The jack for the Corolla is located in the plastic compartment at the lower right corner of the trunk; you can see it once you open the cover. Here is some knowledge about the Corolla: 1. Introduction: The Corolla, formerly known as the 'Corolla' in some markets, is a brand under Toyota. The Corolla is equipped with Michelin 215/45-R17 tires, TRD-Sportivo high-performance shock absorbers, TRD-TF4 17-inch sport rims, reinforced clutch, and high-performance brake pads, ensuring excellent sporty performance. 2. Space: The Corolla has been lengthened in terms of body size, with a wheelbase reaching 2700mm. In terms of seating space, a tester who is 177cm tall adjusted the front seat to the lowest position and had a fist's worth of headroom. When the tester moved to the rear seat, there was about two fingers' worth of headroom and one fist and three fingers' worth of legroom. The floor bulge in the middle of the rear seat is very small.
When it comes to the jacking points of the Corolla, as someone who frequently performs DIY maintenance, I can tell you from experience that the jack must be positioned on the designated points of the chassis frame rails. For the front wheels, look for obvious notches or small protrusions on the chassis behind the wheel. For the rear wheels, similar designs are found on the frame rails ahead of the wheels. These points are reinforced by Toyota to withstand heavy loads. Never jack on suspension arms, exhaust pipes, or plastic underbody panels, as this can damage the car and may cause the jack to slip dangerously. Always park on level ground, engage the parking brake, shift into P (Park), and use wheel chocks to prevent movement before operating. Last time I changed a tire, I carelessly jacked at the wrong spot and scratched the chassis—luckily, I fixed it in time. Beginners are advised to check the manual diagrams or online video demonstrations first, as the Corolla's points are clearly marked. Regularly clean and keep these points dry to prevent rust, ensuring safety for future use.
