Jacking Rear of Caddy

[jackmurkin]

Anyone know if the rear axle beam is strong enough to raise the Caddy (specifically a Caddy Maxi Life). Looks really tempting, but don't want to fold it as that would probably be an expensive mistake!

Got a big trolley jack, so weight, reach and height not a problem. Looks like it would be stable enough, I know when I had a Citroen ZX that it was a doddle to just raise both rear wheels by jacking on the cross member, but the axle does look a bit weaker on the Caddy.

Just to be clear, I am talking about putting the jack about where the "1" is on the parts diagram from realoem:

Also, anywhere obvous to raise both front wheels at the same time, or do you just jack one at a time and axle stand it? (or drive-on ramps)

Apologies if this is already covered in the technical sction, but can't see or search that at present

I usually jack up on the rear axle beam plenty strong enough

Thanks, that makes getting the back up easier then. Might work out what is groaning over bumps later

Just don't use the provided scissor jack at the recommended jacking point (e.g.,for wheel change). Used it properly but the jack still put a nice ding in the sill
