Jacking the Car using the Rear Beam

[is1]

Which part of the rear beam should be used to avoid bending the usual jacking points by the sill? Can it be anywhere along the beam or are there stronger/reinforced areas along the beam? So if changing a driver's side rear tyre can you just place the jack under the beam on the driver's side and raise the car?

Thanks.

Well I use the beam with a block of wood on the jack lift, never really worked out where was best TBH.

I always used the rear beam. Big fapping strong bit of metal !

Just use some (I won't call it common as it isn't...) sense and you'll be fine

Remember to put it in gear if you're only jacking the back up !
