Well, if you jack the car up from there, where you do put the jack stands?

I had the same problem in the rear. I jacked up the car using the recommended area, but then couldn't fit the jack stand in the area with the jack in the way...

if u jack it from the side behide the wheel u should put the jack stand on the frame of the car. i usually jack the front of the car on the frame and put both the jack stands where u jack the car now. Put the jack stand on the frame ok....not the body. hope that help.

What do you do when you want to get to the rear only? Like adjust your shocks?

Cool Thanks! I was jacking up the car to get to the adjustments (did it twice).

Now if only I can get these KYB AGX's to stop making so much noise!

Cool. So basically this covers the shocks and reduces the noise that they make, right?

Has anybody used these before? I was about to get new rear shocks because I can't stand the noise, but if these work, I will just get them.

I put the stands under the little "u" clips that hold the sway bar to the frame. That's a good solid spot.
