I know there are some jack points in the rear suspension but would rather use the official jack points.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

OK, I've seen some examples where the car is lifted in the rear jack point and the front wheels come off the ground. Is it possible to jack up the front at its jack point and have the rear wheels come off the ground to place a jack on the rear side jack point? I know there are some jack points in the rear suspension but would rather use the official jack points. And yes I know I could try this myself to see if it works but I've got a bad back right now.

POST 2Original post

Jack from rear lift point to raise the front. Place jack in front lift point. Repeat on other side. Use cross member in front of motor to lift entire rear end. Place jack stands under both rear points. You probably wouldn't want to lift the rear from the front. A lot more weight in the rear for obvious reasons.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

On sounds good. I guess the cross member is the one with the alignment dial on each side?

POST 7Original post

I've got a set of Jackpoint's and I love them, but there isn't a ton of clearance for anything that you'd need to do for tasks actually under the car.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Got the rear end up today. Used a low profile harbor freight jack to lift up each side of the car under the crossmember where the alignment nutt is. Work from the rear of the car. The handle should more or less be even with the exhaust pipes. Worked perfectly and was able to get some u-joint jack stands under each round jack point. Placed both rear tires under the car for added insurance. And remember to chalk the front wheels.
