Default RX350....Jack Stand Placement??

Hi Everyone

I'm about to do my first tire rotation on my RX350. The owner's manual shows jacking locations when using a floor jack (front and rear center locations) as well as pinchweld locations for using the OEM jack that comes with the SUV. It does not provide any detail on jack stand placement

I'd like to get the RX on 4 stands....just makes the process go by faster. Where is the best location to place the stands.....pinchweld or somewhere else??

Thanks in advance

George

Place the stands in the corner of the garage & drive to the dealer & let them do it. Lexus dealers don't charge for the 5000 mile inspection and they rotate tires along with a free oil change.

Very good advise. While you are researching this jack placement, let the dealer do it for you, while there, you can ask them, too.
