    Jack points

    I'm using a trolley jack on my 9-5 sedan. I got lucky with the rear passenger side jack point, but the rear driver side started to give. The manual doesn't have actual pictures of the jack points. Is the rear center point the tow hook? I could really use a picture!

    Hopefully will as copied from the WIS, pertaining to 9-5 MY1999, do:

    Lifting and attachment points
    Exercise care when positioning a car on a lift or when using a jack. The following illustration shows the lifting and attachment points to be used:

    A. Centred under the front subframe at the front towing eye mounting.
    B. At the jack brackets under the scuff members.
    C. Under the rear towing eye or under the towbar, if fitted.


    Warning
    If incorrect lifting or attachment points are
    used, the car may be displaced or fall from its
    raised position, which may result in serious
    damage to the car or serious personal injury.

    Important
    Do not lift the rear end of the car under the spare
    wheel well or rear axle as this can cause serious
    damage to the car.

    Thanks! My owner's manual has the diagram, but I didn't see the text about jacking "under the rear towing eye". Anyway, I figured out what the diagrams don't make clear about the (4) side jacking points: You place the jack under the welded sheetmetal seam (I want to take my own pictures and post them here, but not today), not in the pockets in the cladding. The lifting pad on my trolley jack happens to fit pretty well in those pockets, but those pockets aren't the jack points.

    Sadly a Volvo XC90
    Don't lift under the bump that runs front to back on the floor on each side.
    I pushed up the floor in the back seat doing that.
    A good stomp on the floor inside kind of fixed it...
    I need to get inside with a 2x4 and a sledge hammer to get it down the rest of the way though.
