this is my first time posting...it looks like the four reinforced areas behind the front wheels and in front of the back wheels or under the lower control arm will be the best places to put my jack stands to replace the front axle(s)......unfortunately it seems that they will be in the way at either of those positions...can anyone offer an alternative to those positions.....possibly at the front or rear bumper area...thanks compo1

 

the jackstands aren't in the way there.

 

when you say there,do you mean in either place

 

Put your jackstands on the points you described and you will have no problems

 

if the jackstands are behind the front wheels, they won't be in the way when you change the axles.

The rear of the car doesn't have to come off the ground at all

 

one other quick question....the car has 105 k on it should i just go ahead and replace the ball joints while i have them apart, rather than do them at a later date... ifigure they will go right after i finish this job with my luck..thanks again compo1

 

if you got the time and money, go for it
