Probably a very simple answer but i like to be safe and double check...



Where would be the best/correct place to jack the rear of the car up so that i can do both springs quickly i.e like in the picture above?

Is it simply under the rear beam?

Thanks

well if you jack it inder the beam you wont get the springs out. use the proper rear jacking points.

i see where your coming from, i mean if i jack it up off the beam first off all, then place the axel stands under the jacking points on both sides, then lower the jack would that be 'safe'?
