If I'm jacking the car up using the front jacking point, where is then a safe place to support the car with axle stands?

This is almost certainly a very obvious answer to most, so as long as some useful information comes my way, I'll take the mocking and jeering on the chin

I usually use the two chassis rails under the car, the front part of which is reinforced and double-skinned.

If I jack the rear up, I usually place the stands under the rear axle unless I am working on the axle in which case I will jack on the axle and place the stands on the sill jacking points.

I use the sill jacking points as infrequently as possible. Witnessing rusty, deformed examples of these areas on previous PSA cars has put me off the idea. Mine are all still fine, incidentally.

I always use the rear part of the front subframe for the business end of the vehicle, and the rear beam for its sweet, sweet arse.

Our S60 has large, dedicated jacking points at each corner. Well done Sweden, 10 points. France, take note.










Alternatively, the floor pans are a good bet. With these, remember to jack up hard and fast (just how she likes it(wheey!)). Don't spread the load with wood. Hoist the car as high as possible and get in and out of it many times.

...especially at the rear where the floor, like most of the other panels, is made of the silver foil out of Gauloise cigarette packets.
