I'm guessing a 406 here, they're all the same.

Hmm, not sure, by rear beam you mean the crossmember, #1 here:

It looks fairly robust but I don't think I've ever thought of using it because there's so much in the way. What are you up to?

Do you mean the arms then? There is no beam axle :? Mine tried to slide off one, everyone else just uses the sills.
