82 jacking proceedures

Got something leaking at the front end. What's the correct way to jack up the front end using a floor jack and stands?

Always place the floor jack under the sides of the frame; never under the front cross member because it'll bend. I always jack mine up evenly on both sides and use four safety stands.

Thanks. So you use two floor jacks and take the car up in increments? Are there any issues with the body flexing?

Jacking instructions are in the owner's manual and should be on the underside of the rear compartment door.
