First post here. I am trying to lift my X6 XDrive 35D from the rear center point as advised in this thread. I found the axle and in the middle there is the rear differential.
Most people said that I should use some 2x4 under the grills and away from the joint... if I understood correctly. So I tried it like this:
As the car was lifting up 1-2cm I could hear some cracking so I shit my pants and reversed back down. The cracking ofcourse could be entirely normal.
It seems to me that the grills are not the actual dead center between the 2 rear axles. The center seems to be the actual joint.
So what do you think? Should I lift from under the joints or from under the grills as shown in the next 2 photos?
Anybody who has actually done this before please let me know.
