What are the best jack points for the P5 with a floor jack?

[Rusty]

I have never been totally happy with where I place the floor jack. Here are pictures of where I usually place it:

I use a 2x4 block between this and the cup on the jack to lift the car. It's the best looking point that hopefully won't bend anything.

This is where I put the jack stand after I lift the car.

Anyone got an opinion on this?

On the front I use the ball on the front (in the middle apx 4 inches from the bumper) and put jackstands where you jack from.

I have had no issues even jacking with 3 2x6's on my jack to get her way in the air

I'll look for that and try it.

...and put jackstands where you jack from.

You mean where I said I jacked in my first picture under the two bolts?

Yes, I put 1 jackstand under each of those...........Sorry but I just got back from a Mazda meet where I had to drive 3 hrs and I am lazy now so I wont venture to my garage to take pics .
There is a crossmember running under the motor running in the middle. The front of it has a ball looking thing, use that to jack and it works great
