since we're suppose to switch the tire from Front <-> back (right and left) is it possible for us to jack the car up on the side so like.. the right side of the car is in the air? rather then like the front or back in the air...

ok i think i figured out the front an rear jack points... but what it you want to jack one side of the car up.. is that possible so the front and rear are exposed so you can rotate the tires? thanks.

I make it a practice not to jack up the car
from side to side as opposed to front to rear.
