Need to put our V70 up on jack stands and would like to know where are the jacking points for a floor jack and place for jack stands are for the rear of the car. Any links with pictures would be great.

Thanks in advance.

    1. Either as previous post, jack in the middle so BOTH front and rear tires on let say the RIGHT side are up.

    2. Or jack at where the control arm joins the body:

    Look at the blue arm where it goes.
    The standard practice is to jack at the place where the control arm joins the body.

    BEST is to place a 2x4 wood block to avoid scraping the undercoat (this was sprayed at factory to minize rusting).

    I don't know if this holds true for your model, but on my 850 the jacking points are one in the middle of each side of the car. In other words, the entire side of the car is lifted so both tires (front and back of that side) are off of the ground, rather than just the front or the back being lifted independently.
