Floor jack placement 944 S2
Hi. I want to put a 944 s2 up on jack stands to work on brakes. I have the front stands on the frame locations but the suggested rear passenger side safe point in front of the rear tire is damaged so I was looking for an alternate location. Pix is the damaged point. Thanks

You could use the area of wheel well where the torsion bars come out, also under the rear wheel bearing area or the very rear circular points tho some say these are prone to collapse.

The rear "bearing flange" gives you a nice, wide, stable place to place the jack stands. 944-331-059-00 and its brother 944-331-060-00. I don't know why it has that name...

It's pricey I know, but I just picked up a 5000-slx Quickjack on here. Holy smokes is it better than jackstands. What I like about it is you're using all four lift points simultaneously which reduces the load on each one. My front ones are partially collapsed (a known issue I guess, they were underbuilt) but with the Quickjack it doesn't matter, since each one is just taking 1/4 of the car's weight (as opposed to 1/2 or 2/3 or whatever when you lift one point at a time using a floor jack) Just a thought..
