So I've seen the pics from the service manual that highlights the single front and rear pump jack jacking points, as well as the 4 spots along the pinch weld where the factory scissor jack is used.
When rotating tires at home, I've lifted the front at the lower control arm mounting point, and at the rear under the trailing arm (see pics).
I also noticed for oval slots along the main frame,,front and rear, with cut outs in the under body panels for them. My wife's previous car had these holes, and I bought pucs to fit them, and they worked on the 9, not perfectly as the press up on the under panels, but lifted ok (see pic of rear oval hole and the puc I used).
My question is, are these acceptable lifting locations? And where does the dealer lift with a 4 post lift?
I'm about the get my tires replaced, and am worried they will use the pinch weld jacking points as those seem obvious, but I'm, afraid they will get crushed, and looks like its never been lifted at the welds before, even for the mazda certified inspection.
