I have a 02 Cavalier and I'm looking to do the struts. When I look near the back of the car on the driver and passanger side, I can't seem to find any spots that would be acceptable to place jack stands. Also, when I look the front on the same sides, nothing looks like it would hold up well either.

Am i missing something?

 

Check the instructions for the jack and place the stands where they recommend to place the jack.
