Trolley Jacking Points ?

[jkspoff]

I want to swap my tyres around, fronts to back, I have a trolley jack, the problem is to make the job easier it would be better to just jack up the Gal from the middle of each side, so I can get access to changing both front and back wheels at the same time, can this be done, as there doesn't appear to be a central side jacking point ?? :)

Go for it with the mid jacking position! never seen a sill bent/crushed in the middle before! please post pictures as it would be of interest to other members :lol: unless you have access to two jacks or access to a full lift you will have to do a wheel at a time and use the spare as a temp support on one axle till you have swapped one of the other wheels overs :)

There is often a central point, not on the sill, where the structure of a vehicle is strong enough to jack from, this is quite normal and can be done on some other cars, just discovered my old TIS disc, and the below diagram shows jacking points by Ford. So obviously not on this model. Answered my own question really ! :)

thank you, you just saved me from posting that very same picture, with the wieght of the vehicle being able to crush the existing jacking points I would think that trying to jack it elsewhere would be a big no no!
