02hawk pretty much said it all. If you go and look under your car behind the drivers side wheel (I mean behind as in to the right of it) and back in there, you should see to little things like runners underneath kinda... I dont know how to discribe it. But thats where you jack them up in the front.

Yeah i know, thats where I usually jack it up. I was just wondering if theres anyplace on the front of the car where you can lift it up in the center to get both wheels up the same time.

I think our cars have a core support, if so, then there. (The core support is the thing that supports the radiator, and it attached to the frame.

And in the rear, there are two plastic peices made as lift supports...
Where are these plastic pieces? My car sits really low, so maybe I haven't seen them.

exactly, just jack it up, by the pumpkin is ok i guess, and just put jack stands under the torque arm mounts. for the front i just jack it up by the k-member usually.

They are lift supports, they look like honeycomb square blocks located under the rear quarter in front of the back tire.
