Rear Jack Point?

I know where the front one is but I looked for it in the rear with no luck. I don't want to use the differential.

Run your hand under the body just in front of the rear wheels and you should feel a square rubber pad. I always just use that.

Thanks, I do use those, but I want to be able to jack up both wheels in the rear like I can in the front.

Where is the front one? I only use the square pads and lift one wheel at a time.

I agree. I have only seen the 2 pads on each side of the car, and those are the ones I use that jack up only the wheel it is situated next to. In order to lift both front wheels you have to use a floor jack under the engine or under the rear axel fro the rear tires.

look under the front close to the oil pan and you will see a "pad" sticking down through the plastic splash shield. the "pad" is attached to the crossmember about 15 inches from the front air dam.

That can't be an E55, is it? I would be careful jacking under the pumpkin as it has the cooling ribs that are aluminum. I'll look for that one in the front. Until then, I'll just keep changig one wheel at a time.

You can use the diff it won't hurt anything. Just put a block of wood or something on the jack.
