   Hi
   so am going to change the oil at the weekend and was wondering where to put the axle stands?
   
   while searching i found this

   trolley jack under each jacking point then axle stands under where the wishbones bolt to the chassis

   so i had a look under my car and i think i found the right place is this it?
   
   Thanks

   I jack mine up where the wishbone bolts through and put the axle stands on the jacking points, I jack one side first and put the axle stand under then jack the other side, I know its not really recommended to do it like that but there isn't really anywhere to put the jack to get the whole front end up in one go.
   
   edit: if you look on the picture you posted in the left corner where the bolt goes through the wishbone thats what i use

   just to be sure is it the bolt at the bottom left corner you're talking about?
