Rear Jacking Point – Volvo 700/900 Series

Location and design
The rear jacking point is located just in front of the rear wheel and is integrated into the side sill (rocker panel). It features a U-shaped profile designed to match the sill structure and to properly engage with the original Volvo jack.

Function
This jacking point is designed to safely support part of the vehicle’s weight during lifting. Compared to the front jacking points, it is generally subjected to lower long-term loads, but it must still withstand high localized pressure from the jack.

Common issues and wear
Typical weak points include:

• Corrosion inside the sill cavity due to moisture and road salt
• Dirt and water ingress from the rear wheel area
• Deformation caused by incorrect or improper jacking procedures

Over time, these factors can significantly weaken the structural integrity of the area.

Repair and replacement
When repairing the jacking point, the following steps are essential:

• Completely remove all rusted and damaged material
• Ensure precise positioning of the new jacking point for correct jack alignment
• Weld the component securely (spot welding and, if necessary, seam welding)
• Apply corrosion protection using zinc coating or epoxy primer
• Finish with cavity protection using wax-based sealant
