To properly place jack stands on a Ford Focus, you should follow the indicated jack points on the car. These jack points are clearly marked by arrows on the plastic trim of the vehicle. Here are the recommended locations for placing jack stands on a Ford Focus:
– Front: Place the front jack stands on either side directly under the lower control arms of the pivot bracket.
– Rear: Place two rear jack stands directly beside each other in the middle of the rear, right under the subassembly cross-member.
It’s important to note that the front subframe lifting point is not suitable for supporting the vehicle with a jack stand due to being off-center. Always ensure that the jack stands are securely positioned and that the vehicle is stable before working underneath it.
