At rear you can jack up under the center of rear spring on each side and place the jack stand outboard as far as possible on the axle. Be careful not to crimp the copper brake line that runs along the axle

Thanks. I used the center of the front spring, but do not see any convenient spot in the rear.

Safe jack points? was created by alsancle
Because I sadly don't have a lift I need to get our 812 Convertible coupe up high on jack stands. In the front the spring perch looks like a solid spot, but in back I'm not sure. I don't like the look of the axle and I'm thinking jacking from the center of it might be a bad idea.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
