E400 2018 Rear center jacking location.
Hi there, just wish to see if someone could help me to have a proper way to lift the rear of my E400 2018 from the center, thus I can put jack stands there for change the rear diff oil or other services. I am not feeling good to lift from the diff, I have checked the magnect does not attach to it, not a cast iron diff body, and the subframe seems very slim and quite close to the diff, pad of the jack seems wont go through. Thank you.

First I would block the front wheels. From the right side, lift the car and put a jack stand under the car. Then go to the left side, lift it and put a jack stand under it.
Two blocks of wood, one jack and two jack stands and your car is lifted to work on your rear differential.

Thank you for your reply, my concern is where can I lift the car with Jack for me to put the jack stand(s) to support the car. As you said from "right side", the rear right side seems to me has only one jacking point on the edge, if I use that jacking point, the stand will has no where to be positioned.
Once the car is up, you will find a secure place to put the jack stands.
