precautionary question
I've never had to jack my C5 before......I need to change the tire pressure sensor in my right front wheel....Is it OK to jack from just 1 (one) jacking location or do I need to lift the whole front end at once...will the car flex too much if I just use one location

You can jack it from the one point with a jacking puck. You do not need to lift the whole car.

These cars are so rigid that lifting a corner is not an issue.
Take a look at this thread....

Use a jacking puck and you'll have no problems jacking the car up from just one location. Just be sure to use jack stands also.
