THORPEM

Might be a Silly Question ...
I want to rotate my wheels round front to back.
Is there a safe point were I can jack a side up at a time either with the stock jack or a trolly jack?
Whats the best way ?

Thanks Regards

Not a silly question I want to do exactly the same thing!! Anybody know the best place to jack the car up from using a trolly jack??

Not much of an answer for you but a word of warning - a while ago I took my car to a tyre fitter to get them to do the same thing and they jacked it under the sill, just behind the wheel. Two days later I notice a crack in the windscreen which can (I since found out) be caused by the car putting too much pressure on the glass when it's not jacked properly. I'd take it to a tyre fitter and get them to jack it up under the rear diff and also under the front at the same time so you can do it in one go...

I know under the rear diff can be used for jacking up the back of the car. Might only be of use for a trolley jack though.

The safest way is to jack up and insert axle stands. However, never having done this, I will leave it up to someone more experienced to answer in detail.

I jack the rear using a trolley jack under the diff and the front one side at a time by jacking the towing eyes (STi4)

I use the cross member under the sump to lift both front wheels at once, and the diff or tow bar (I know, but its for my bike trailer) for the rear.
