Floor jack lift points?

[hectik1]

You can jack it up right behind the front wheel on each side and it will lift that whole side up.

The stock tires are not directional.

Go to Tirerack.com and check there listing.

If they were directional there would be a right & a left tire listed.

The tread is not directional.

Where are the front and rear jacking points on the MS3? I'd rather swap wheels two at a time (front then rear) using my floor jack then using the factory jack on each corner.

In the rear, there is a plate in the center of the suspension. You can jack there with a 2X4 on top of the jack.

In the front, you can do the same on the cross-member just behind the engine/transmission rear mount.

Are you talking about lifting your car completely up and doing all the wheelsat the same time?
Our tires stock on our car are directional, so the tires on the driver side stay on the driver side but swap front to back, and same for the passenger side.

No, the stock tires are not directional, they are asymmetrical. Once mounted on the wheel, they can be mounted anywhere on the car. Asymmetrical tires have an outside and an inside, but can rotate in either direction. Therefore, you only need to be concerned when mounting them on the rim.

How did these posts get out of order?

That wouldn't make much sense...typically tires up front get worn then rotate to the back...+ I think left to right would not usually wear exactly the same and just go through tires more often. Either way be sure to use jackstands or blocks!!!

My bad, for some reason I thought they were.
I guess Ive just been so use to using directional tires I got confused.

I stand corrected.

But yes, somehow the post order got really messed up, Ive seen it happen a few times

Your owners manual should list all the jack points on the car.

Unless you are operating a vehicle with directional tires you should not be swapping simply front to back. The tires should come forward from the rear and cross to opposite side of the vehicle. Direct front to back changes are only for directional tires that cant be crossed over.

Jack stands are inexpensive and last a long time.

This sites clock was off by 5 hours on Friday evening.
That is why the posts were out of order.

Yes it lists the four jack points for the car equipped scissor jack. However, I haven't found a page in the owners manual that shows where jack lift points are for a floor jack.... they type that rolls along the ground and can lift either the front or rear of the car.

This is what I do... A lot better than doing sides...much faster too.
