Where does jack stand go on Ford Focus?
The acceptable jack stand locations are the reinforced areas of the rocker panels (the same locations for jacking), the rear subframe, and the rear-most mounts of the front control arms. The front subframe lifting point is unacceptable for support with a jackstand due to being off-center.
Where should you not put a jack?
Never jack up a vehicle without blocking the wheels to keep it from rolling. Use bricks, wooden wedges, or metal wheel chocks to block the wheels at the end of the car that isn’t being raised. If you’re changing a tire and you have nothing to block the wheels with, park near the curb with the wheels turned in.
Where are the Jack points on a Ford Focus?
I have a brand new MK3 Ford Focus (it’s an ST, but I don’t think that matters). I know it has the four jack points in the corners inside the wheels (underneath door sills) but I don’t know/can’t find where the other jack points are.
How can I Raise my Focus Focus car?
Make sure vehicle is in Park (Automatic) or Reverse (Manual) with the engine stopped and keys out of the ignition. Set parking brake. Locate a jack point and carefully begin to raise vehicle. Once at the desired height, place jackstands in an acceptable location as shown in the diagram above.
Where is the best place to Jack a focus?
Both sides should be supported in most situations. The acceptable jack stand locations are the reinforced areas of the rocker panels (the same locations for jacking), the rear subframe, and the rear-most mounts of the front control arms.
Where are the Jack points on a subframe?
I know it has the four jack points in the corners inside the wheels (underneath door sills) but I don’t know/can’t find where the other jack points are. I assume that there are spots on the front/rear subframes to jack the car up, but I’m not experienced enough to pick them out from the bottom of the car.
