Alternate jacking points | 03 xtype 3.0
In short I have an 03 xtype with the infamous rocker panel rot, mine is especially bad. Hopefully getting that fixed soon if all works out.
As a result I don't have any way to get the rear wheels off the ground to do any work to the wheels/brakes.
I've heard you can do the rear diff on most cars, usually lower control arms can work out well.
Just want to make sure how jacking from spots like that might work on the xtype, if not maybe any other spots I may be able to jack for the rear end.
Thanks.

How gone are the rockers? I spread it out with a hardwood board so that I'm not trying to lift by a small point.
One word of warning in the rear...when you look underneath and see the two rails running up from the rear axles, DO NOT NOT NOT try to use those as lift points!
We are prepping to replace my passenger rocker now, and we're actually going to box out the lift points, because the factory point are wholly inadequate.

Yeah I've seen those, I was thinking the diff or inner pivot point on the lower control arms
