I am looking into putting the car on 4 jack stands to do crisscross tire rotation.

I found where to place jack stand for front from this https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-...ml#post6092061

Is there a photo somewhere handy that shows the jack stand points for the rear of the car?

Thanks.

Hope this help.

Thanks.
I was looking more for some other stronger jack points and not the one used by the oem jack kit.
The front was already marked by somebody in the post I linked, but I've never seen anyone posted a good location for the rear.

It's going to be tire rotation time soon.
It seems like nobody put jacks on the rear of the car other than the quite flimsy jack points on the sides?

I've not had an issue with the front and rear side jack points.

I thought cross wise tire rotation went out with bias ply tires.

I thought the fundamental reason for not doing X pattern as a general rule was the direction of rotation of the tire. The right spin clockwise and the left ccw. By doing front to back, the owner if not aware of the tread, can't go wrong.

At the end the purpose is to even out the tread wear on all 4 and when it comes time to replace, you replace all four.

My 2c on jack points for the supplied jack:
The position is just perfect to support the weight and accessible. The problem if any is the seam which requires a slot. The only reason it maligned is not the spot, but the actual jack. It has a very small foot print and if you raise the vehicle high, the vertical transfer of weight line can quickly go outside of the base (specially if the vehicle rolls a tiny bit). Floor jacks on wheels allow lateral travel so it gives additional protection.

Lifting all fours, takes the roll possibility out, but even then it is important to keel the vehicle level. In a pinch we have to deal with non ideal conditions and then the best thing we can do, is try to limit the exposure (dont crawl under) and kick a spare underneath. Just in case things dont go as planned.

When i rotate my tires, I usually i just jack up the rear by the rear diff and put 1 jack stand by the rear subframe mount closest to the tire that I am working on. Ideally I would like it by the front of the rear subframe mount but I don't like its location close to the gas tank in the event of a jack failure and having the probability of puncturing the tank. Points noted in the edited picture attached, ignore the arrow drawn by the previous publisher. Note: I do this for directional tires moving them front to back, back to front.
