jack up point for trolley jack
 
stupid question but is there a point I can jack up my STI 06 to get both wheels off the ground safely to swap front to rear?

nothing in the manual..

Use the diffs, if I get time I'll post a pic of the bonnet lifters 'sweet spot' for you:D

you mean put the trolley jack under the diffs? - will that be okay?

and cheers :D

Thats the jacking point for a trolley jack but also use a piece of wood to spread the load across the diff:thumb:

Sorry the front use the subframe in the centre near the diff.

Personally I use the box frame near the scissor jack points with a piece of wood to prevent them buckling, no problems what so ever and change my wheels every summer, winter:thumb:
