Anyone have tips on jacking the front end?

I know, probably sounds like a newb question but if there is only one jack point behind the rear front of the tire, how do you get both front wheels up on jack stands?

I mean If I jack up front right, how do I get a jack stand into the same spot that I am jacking the car up from? Lets say I get one side up on a stand. How do I get the other side up in the air and get a jack stand where the jack point is.

My understanding is that we dont have a font center jack point right?

There is a front jack point. Have search on this forum there are photos pointing it out. Also you don’t need to put stands on the jacking points. You can put them on the axel, subframe etc.

The attached file will show you the center jack points. Front and back. It was printed from ISTA for a G42
