Hey Guys.

So jacked up the car from the rear middle point so I could slip two jack stands on the rear side reinforced points. However only by a few mm I cant fit the stands on the rear points.

The only way would be to jack up from the side (one after the other) and then place the jack stands.

Below, not sure where to use the trolley jack so I can slip the jack stand on the reinforced point (red arrow).

Just dont want to jack up in the wrong area and cause damage.
Thanks

i jack from the front of the car at the main lower chassis
and the rear from the tow hook - but i have a big jack so its not an issue

then put stands under the chassis on each side

i only use the points u pointed out when i have a scissor jack

my trolley jack raises to 498mm but still couldnt get the stand under it, after raising from the tow hook rear area.

I thought after raising from the rear for eg, then one puts the stands where I pointed out. So means, I can raise the car from the area I pointed out, then slide the stand under the chassis.

Would you be able to point out where exactly under the chassis? I have no issues raising the front. But not sure where to put the stand on the rear side, rear chassis area. I only want to raise the rear so I can put the stands to install a camber kit. thanks
