Is this the correct place to raise the rear of the car to change a wheel using a trolley jack.I currently sit the car on axle stands to change the rears but it's a real ball ache.There must be an easier way if I should get a puncture hence me asking on here :huh:

Thanks :thumbsup: had the car almost 10 years now and have only just thought to ask this question.Luckily I've never had a rear tyre puncture in all that time.

I like the term puncture, what do you call it when your tire pops and drops as your driving? It's called a blow out here. :popcorn:

Steve, you can place the Jack under the differential and lift the whole ass end in one shot too.
That's what I currently do Marty to put it on axle stands.Still have to lift the rear wings to get the 275s out though.


Called a blow out over here too Bob :thumbsup:

I place the Jack stands under the frame then lower the Jack to drop the suspension.
