location to jack the rear up

distrbd · 02-23-2008, 02:25 PM

Hi all.
I need to know where exactly is the point to put my hydraulic jack to lift both wheels so I can put two jack stands on either side?
I know the front thanks to another member's pics(snitt) in the thread for DIY oil change:Oil Change DIY.
but in order to level the car to do the MTF change I need the jack point for rear wheels.
Thank you for your help.
Ken.

right front of the rear wheels should be the good place to jack up for rear side.
but make sure you look into the bottom and see if surface is strong enough to hold your jack stands.

you can lift it from the towing hook is at or in the center where the two wheels are.

The jackpoint I use is the rear towing hook.

Dar-Dar · 02-23-2008, 02:33 PM

it should show it in the manual

either the tow hook or in between the control arms

***Zeuceone*** · 02-23-2008, 02:50 PM

yeah the center of the control arms.

That's exactly where I first thought the point should be but wasn't sure if it's strong enough ,the tow hook would be a good alternative but since it's farther from the wheels I might have to jack it up higher to be able to put the stands under,but between the control arms is more logical.
Thanks guys.

The cross frame of the chasis shoudl be alright. Worse case is do each side individually. Remember, never crawl under a car unless it is fully supported.

Have you tried the pinch welds?

***Gone*** · 02-24-2008, 02:53 AM

I think he wants to lift the entire rear at one time, not side by side.

distrbd · 02-24-2008, 08:29 AM

The center of the cross arms seems to be the best /most typical place to use to lift BOTH wheels up at the same time.
Thank you all,you guys are the best.

Not worth the risk of tearing up your pinch welds, in my opinion. Use the towing hook, control arms, or anywhere on the frame, that way you know that it can support the weight.

The tow hook is what is recommended in the service manual.
