Default Jacking up eg hatch

I know i know "search" I did and all i found was people talking about where to put the jack stands and i know where to put em. I just need to know where I can Jack up the car from other than the front to get my driver side up . I need to change my alternator and I dont want to remove any wires from the top so I want to get uder my hatch. If anyone can post a picture of where to Jack the car up from the driverside and place jack stands much will be appriciated and for the people who are going to tell me to search why not just help me? Ive already searched no need for your comments and waste of time. Thanks in advance.

I've used the rad support as an inital jack point(with a board underneath to distribute weight) then proped the front up via the two supports on driver/passenger side worked when i had to drop the oil pan.

There are four jack points on the sides. Is this not what you're talking about? You can also jack the car up from the front (not the rad support) and rear.

Yeah I know there are for jack point but the thing is Lets say I jack up on the driver side jack point how do I get my jack stands on that same point when my jacks on it you know? I dont think my jack I have can hold up the weight from jacking it up from the rad support because its so old haha

Jack where the lower control arms meet the subframe, then put the jack stands under the jack points, lower the car onto the stands.

If you look in that location you'll find the front jack point.

download the .pdf manual it's in their... I've used a board before too but not the safest idea probably...but if you have crappy jack the extra few inches from a board might be what you need to get stands in.
