For the front I use the cross member that is right behind the oil pan and that the steering rack is bolted to. I haven't noticed any detrimental effects from doing this, and I'm fairly certain this is what the FSM says to do.

For the rear I jack the car up using the differential housing.

As far as jack stands, i haven't found a good place to put them. I've just been using the four corners where you would use the scissor jack and it's seems stable, but i absolutely hate the part where i don't have any adapters to reduce the risk of damaging the pinch seams.

Good luck!

To protect your pinch seams geta good block of wood and cut a grove for the seam to fit in on one side and place the Jackstand on the block of wood.
