Rotated my tires today on my 02 ob, putting the front on jack stands was easy enough, there is a nice section of frame right there.

 

However, I couldn't quite find a real good spot in the back. I looked in the manual, and found the "crimpled" section of metal near the skirt. But I couldn't see any spot near there... There is a spot on the rear subframe next to where the diff is mounted, but it is a little high of the ground, my jack barely can get it high enough in the air.

 

Anyone else have a good spot? Or am I just mising it?

 

Thanks all.

Along the body seam where you would place the screw jack when fixing a flat, is a pretty good spot.

do you have a floor jack, put it onto the rear diff ,mine has the metal cover and it will raise the hole back :wave:

Nice, the diff should work perfect, I don't have a metal plate over the end, is that like a skid plate? But the end is pretty flat.

 

I bet the screw jack will fit in the spot on the side, I think the arrow points to the mount for the rear trailing arm, but my floor jack doesn't quite have enough room with that plastic flap thingy in the way.

 

Thanks! Should make next time a bit easier!

thats what i did on my 88 full time 4wd wagon , but using the jack stands might be safer, or less likely that some thing might slip down or get damaged :wave:

The standard jackpoints for most Subarus (mine anyway) are the front crossmember and the rear diff...
