Hi yall I couldn't find the 4 lift points in the manual for the 2023 IS 350. It just has the jacking points. Can someone direct me to a diagram or tell me where the lift points are? My shop will be doing some exhaust work so I want to be sure they don't lift it in the wrong spot and break some plastic under the car or the side skirts. Thanks in advance.

 

There are 4 pinch welds (2 on the left, 2 on the right) on the side of the car between the 2 wheels. Thats the same location where you'd put your jack if you were to use the jack in the trunk. No different than basically any other Toyota product.

 

If that’s the case, then you need to make sure the shop has, and uses, pinch weld adapters, to not crush those pinch welds. (I use them when lifting my own car, basically hockey pucks with a slot in them.) A legitimate question, as my other car has both pinch weld jacking points, and specified lift points.

 

The mention of the shop having pinch weld adapters is a really good point. I can see those welds getting bent or dented without the adapters. Thanks for the heads up. I'll ask the shop if their lifts have the adapters before I take it in.

 

Do you suspect that if the shop doesn't have the adapters then the lift would damage the pinch welds?

 

Edit: never mind

 

If they lift on the pinch welds, very likely they’ll be damaged.
Now there may be other spots under there that can accommodate their lift pads, I haven’t looked.
