Looking for input on the recommended lift points
I have done a bunch of searching and evaluating documents provided by Lexus in an attempt to find the recommended 4 locations to place the arms for an asymmetric lift.
- My working lift: Rotary asymmetric SPAO. The one in many shops that have the flip up support pads
- I was very disappointed that the owners manual does not list it like so many other mfrs. They have single jack points, which is not applicable here.
Many cars I own and work on use the defined locations on the pinch welds that have some additional support for single jack for the tire jack
- Some use the "subframe" some not or either
- The front subframe has what looks like a substantial enough subframe (and have talked to a few techs that use that and say to use either)
- The front pinchwelds do not seem to be adequate from what I have tested with the car on it
If anyone has input especially from the ALI documents (mine cut off before Lexus unfortunately.
Knowledgeable input is greatly appreciated.
