I have jacked this car up many times but not on all 4 jack points

You can jack the tranny (right under the round diff section) if you're trying to raise the entire rear. Then put jackstands on the torsion bar tube, one on each side.

I've used the trailing arms with jack stands quite a few times.. IIRC Rich Sandors had a great photo detailing the jack points.

Look behind the rear wheels, right up almost in the bumper corners. Theres one in each corner that look like the front ones. On turbos they are tucked in the corners of the rear under spoiler.

Thanks Sam. Jeff and Brian .. So much
I used the ones in front of the rear wheel for now but I used a piece of hard wood flooring as a buffer.
In the front I used the 2 beams and the 2 front donuts ( a big mistake ) one is already 1/2 pushed in.
I will change out the rears tomorrow ... What a waste of time not to mention almost killing myself
I now have 6 jack stands I may just pick up another pair and put them on the rear bars
Thanks for your quick response ...
Regards
Ed

yup, i've heard that those rear donut ones are even more prone to collapse than the front ones.
