Rear jacking point

[DWBOX2000]

So from my manual, the four points are just the 2 on both sides that the provided jack attaches to. So next question. how does one jack up using those points and them put the car on jack stands if the designated spot for the jack stand is already being used by the jack. This would seem like you can only work on these if you have a lift. My two sources were pelican and Bentley. That is really bad if they are wrong since they are the main source of info for most of is.

I have always used these Frame(Front), Suspension(Rear) points to get the car up for stands
After I drop down on jack stands on (4) support posts, I still use jacks under these points as extras when laying under the car

I use that same one as shown in the Pelican for the rear, for the front I use that same one. The Bentley also shows a center point for jacking the rear:



Sometimes I use that center point if I am lifting the car in stages (When jacking I go to the lowest point on the jack stands, then I go around again and go up to the final height). You will bend up that end of the sheet metal brace a little but I don't think it hurts anything.

Simple: You insert a jacking pad, and jack the car up:

This is EXACTLY my question too!! How is it possibel to jack the front of the car at the proper front jack location AND THEN place the jack stand in the same place the lift is????

So...I believe the answer is this...PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong....

Say you want to place a jack stand under the front left corner. START by using your lift at the REAR LEFT jack point just in front of the left rear wheel. This will lift the entire left side of the car and you'll be able to place the jack stand in the desired front left position. Then, lower the lift.

Next, switch the the right side and repeat. Now the entire front end will be on jacks.

Next, lift the left rear at the left rear jack point and place a jack stand under the RIGHT REAR side of the car, then get the lift out of the way and you should be able to place the left rear jack stand.

Is this all correct???

For the front if you look back on this thread you will see pictures indicating a frame structure at the back of the tire about a foot in from the edge. I use a small piece of 2x4 between the jack and the sub-frame. I place my jacks just behind the front tires, enough so you can get the stands in after jacked up. I jack both sides, a little bit on each side, until the car is high enough to place stands under.
