The motivation was that I was recently looking at a reference about jacking locations on a vehicle, and it mentioned points along the sill flange. I found them easily enough, but wondered what it meant.<\/p>\n<p>\nApparently, the sill on a vehicle runs between the front and rear wheel wells. (There is one either side.) The sill is structurally strong, because it&#8217;s where the doors attach to the vehicle. Then the sill flange is, in turn, where the sill attaches to the &#8220;outer&#8221; body of the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>\nIt makes sense, therefore, that the sill flange might host a jacking point, being a key part of the structure of the body of the vehicle. Having looked at it from underneath, I could see two or even three sheets of metal coming together there.<\/p>\n<p>\nSource:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/forums.moneysavingexpert.com\/discussion\/4928783\/where-are-the-sills-on-a-car\">moneysavingexpert.com: Where are the &#8220;sills&#8221; on a car?<\/a><\/p>\nJack of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oracletutoring.ca\">Oracle Tutoring by Jack and Diane,<\/a> Campbell River, BC.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Self-tutoring about autos: the tutor mentions the idea of a sill flange.
