I bought a set of Lift Bars a couple of years ago and haven't looked back since. They are pricey, but rock solid. Liftbars

You can jack one side of the car up with the rear jack mount point. Then place your stands under the car. The regular Y yoke stands do not naturally fit under the OEM points. Some people spring for the flat top stands. The car sits nicely on top of those. Again, they are not cheap. https://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/ShopCart/TOOL/POR_TOOL_ESCOjs-detail.htm

However you do it, always have something extra as a backup, i.e. wheels, jack, wood blocks. Safe travels and wrenching.

Thank you for the pointers. I am somewhat relieved that apparently I am not crazy or hallucinating about the chassis representations!

In the "more good news" area- I got a Call from Harbor Freight this morning informing me that the jack stands I purchased have been recalled!:ah:
