Bit of a daft question, but where would i position a trolley jack to jack up the rear of the car. I need to get it up on axle stands to fit my rear anti roll bar.

Do u just put it where the original jacking points are?

Cheers

Idealy you need ramps to get the car right up.

But I just jacked it up on the jacking points.
