Its fairly accessible on a 3.1/2.8 if you pull the alternator and bracket and go that way

Hello all, I am new to the forums but I have owned this car for a long time! I am looking to do brakes all the way around on my 1992 Lumina Euro Coupe, the issue I am having is trying to understand where to place jack stands under the rear "axle" of the car. Every previous vehicle I have done brakes on has been RWD so I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking at under the rear of this FWD. Unfortunately I live in the rust belt and this car has seen better days at the trailing arms mounts and pinchwelds. Could someone please help me with placement of jack and jack stands under the rear of the car.

Trailing arm mount is a good point for the stands. The owner's manual will tell you points that are weak and dangerous when the car has spent years in the rust belt. In my experience, I've continued to drive a Lumina once the jack point (midway between the wheels under the monoleaf) has been compromised from rust. Though, once, the trailing arm mount goes through the floor, I've opted to part out and discard the vehicle.

Check out Jiggity76's post in this thread. I also use the front engine cradle, and the rear lift point to jack it up (center of the vehicle in the rear under the monoleaf). Then jack stands on the engine cradle, and depending on rust issues, either the factory pinch welds or the trailing arm mounts. A manual should have detailed information where to jack up the vehicle from.
