Hpefully this is an easy question to answer.

But are there any good jacking points on a scooby apart from the sills.

In the past i have found sills to be difficult with trolly jacks especillaly when i want either both front or rear wheel off at the same time.

Can anyone help.

I don't think you should use trolley jacks under the sills as you can damage the chasis. The rear jacking point for a trolley jack is under the rear diff (silver box mid-way between the wheels as you look under the rear of the car). For the front there is a cross-member section under the engine, and if your car has an undertray the jacking point will be the only square bit under the engine that is exposed. I find my car (MY00) is too low to get the trolley jack under so I use the standard Subaru jack on the sill to raise it a few inches before I put the trolley jack under, and I always place a small flat square of wood on top of the trolley jack to prevent the metal damaging the jack points.

Thanks for that, never would have thought of using the rear diff, but suppose it make sense.

Thanks again for ur help

I have the same problem, but an alternative is to drive the car onto a couple of planks of wood, which raises the car off the floor by the required amount.

I remember this being asked a couple years back and Pete Croney (Ex Scoobysport) confirmed:

The rear diff and both of the front towing eyes.
