Driver's side / passanger side jack point

[Deanq4]

It there a specific jack point for the left and right side? I would like to be able to rotate the tires myself, but I can never find a jack point.

there are notches in the frame, behind the front wheels and in front of the rear wheels, that the standard jack uses (i'm not sure if that would work for you). Plus there is a jack point up front middle, between the tires (under the panels (it is labeled, it is like 3 10mm bolts to remove)), and another beneath the rear axle. The car manual shows those 2 locations pretty well.

My goal is to be able to lift the entire left or right side at once. The points described might work, but I am not sure if my 3 ton jack will go that high. On other cars I have used the frame at about the middle of the drivers door to lift it with no problem.

The suspension doesn't have that much travel, so you wont have to lift very high to get the tire off, I don't see why you couldn't use the jack in the middle. The only difference between jacking in the middle and the regular jack points is that it doesn't have the notches to fit the stock jack. Granted i don't know about how strong the frame is in the center for one jack point. You could use the jack (that comes with the car) behind the front, and your jack in front of the rear, it would definitely take the stress off having 1/2 the car's weight on one point, and use the standard jack points.
hope this helps

Don't know about Portland but up here in Seattle all Discount Tire stores and Les Schwab stores rotate your tires for you once a year for free.

They also fix flats for free.

No you don't need to have bought your tires from them they do it as customer good will and hope you will be back in the future to buy tires from them

Give a store a call.

they will, I just don't always have the time to wait. I know seems odd that i have an hour to rotate them, but not 45 to wait. I usually change oil and rotate them at like 7 at night after my daughter goes to bed.

Right now the car is getting repaired from an accident from the "freak storm" about a week and a half ago. I think what I will do is try using the front/rear jack points then use the ones by each tire for a jack stand to hold up that tire alone.

Thanks for the help
