Where is the rear axle support on a Taurus?

For the rear axle support, place the jack stand (s) near the jack under the rocker panel seam. Turn the handle of the jack counterclockwise slowly to release the hydraulic tension on the jack and allow the Taurus to slowly lower and contact the arm of the jack stand.

Place the block of wood on the cradle of the floor jack and align it beneath the rocker panel seam of the Ford Taurus (front or rear).

Can a scissor jack be used to lift a Taurus?
