I got tired of waiting for Ford to rotate my tires via OTA, so I figured it would do it myself.
Rear tires go straight forward and front tires cross sides when going to the back. Since we don't have a spare of any kind, the entire car needs to be lifted up in the air. If going that far, then it's a good time to wash the insides of the wheels, wipe down the calipers, check brake pads and look at all other visible components for leaks or signs of distress. For as many miles as I have on this car, it looks pretty much brand new still. Let's hope it stays that way for quite a while longer.
Here are some photos of how I lifted the car for those that like to do this sort of stuff themselves. Remember to break loose the lug nuts before lifting the car off the ground. I placed the pucks on the lifting rail and also allowed the square pad to get some purchase on the HVB channel just for extra support. Seemed to work pretty well. I placed another pair of jack stands on the left side of the car but I didn't get a photo of that.
Safety First!
