alternatives to rear jack points for tireshop's lift?
 

My 2 rear jack points are rusty. What are alternatives? Are tire shops going to refuse to service vehicle if they can't use it? If they don't, then I have to remove wheels and bring it in, but I can only do 2 at a time and that sucks.

Can use the pivot point of the rear beams, I've done that before.

By 'pivot point' you meant where the 2 red circles are.
Thank Aackshun!

Pivot points? Is it where red circles are?

yes more so the body side of it but I've done it in a pinch before. Maybe use a peice of wood or something soft yet firm to prevent any damage to the body but if I had to do it again I would.

Just check, the surroundings seem weaken.

Yes, my car likes gum. Lol, my jack points turn into giant black holes.

Thanks!

If your car is that rotten, then time to say bye.

Agree when it is rotten. I hate to let it go when it runs well, shift smoothly. Engine, transmission, shocks/struts, muffler, radiator are original. I am aware that pivot points are among safety items that are going to determine when car should be let go or not. Right now, I think it has not reached that moment yet. I believe it could possibly be reinforced to make it last longer, but have no will to acquire welding tool. Never doubt, it is getting close toward the end between minimal cost preventative and/or making the final call.

The original question was alternative jack point so it can go on lift at a shop for tire mount. I could use floor jack at center point of the torsion beam to remove and bring wheels in.

By the way, I live in a snowy lala-land midwest state, Instead going directly to JY it could be converted/repurposed to a 190 HP 5 foot-wide front-mounted snow plow with heated cabin, FM/AM, bluetooth music, ... daydreaming again, lol.

I live in a rust free area.

I have always lifted the back of the car by placing a floor jack under the rear suspension .
I mean the long beam at the bottom of the suspension. I place jack stands under that close to the wheels. I've done that for 15 years.

I think a tire shop could lit the car the same wsy.

This was what I wished someone may say. This sounds like Jingle Bells music to my ears. And right occasion too.
Thanks JvG!
