Front jack points are inboard of the tire change body/pan pinch weld point behind the subframe bolt/pad. These appear as extensions of the subframe but arestampedin thefloor pan. The issue isjack by hydraulic floor jack and support by jack stands. My solution is tojack at the pinch weld and support by stand at the recommendedpan subframe point. A hydraulic jack pad adapter is needed to avoid pinch weld damage. Helpful to have jack stand protection also. Here's a site that sells both pad adapters:

Side lift and jack stand pads.


Rear jack points are the pinch weld tire jack points just ahead of the rear wheels. I move the hydraulic jack forward to lift and insert jack stand behind at tire jack point.


Not intended for 4 wheel jack.


Lifting the front will cause rear wheel that side to unload. Use chock opposite. Use tires/wheels under chassis if removed just in case or several blocks of 2X6 under tires just in case.

jack it up on the subframe on the front with floor jack and us a foot long 2x4 on head of jack to lift on pinch weld in rear. most places lift these cars on the car lifts by positioning the arms to lift at subframe on front and pinch welds in rear.

 

Yeah, but most people just have factory jacks and don't carry around floor jacks 87 C.V. Good info B34.

Note that the pinch adapter original post is for small hyd jacksaddle pad.
