okay I need to rotate the tires on my 240D and to do so i need to jack the car up safely... i understand that it is okay to use the floor jack under the rear diff and the front crossmember but im not sure where to place the jack stands without damaging the car... i dont want to use the stock jack points as one has rust and im sure the others do as well... any advise or pictures on where to place the jack stands?

left front to left rear vice versa with both sides right...


put the jack stands with a chunk of 2x4 under neath the frame rails under the front(not the jack hole point) and rear of the car..

ok i think i found the frame rails in the rear... not totally sure on a unibody car is it where the rear sway bar mounts are?

I position jack stands in front under lower control arms. Rear I use just below jack points, you will not crush anything, as under lower control arms would necassitate jacking WAY up. Haven't had a problem yet.
