Default V70 axle stand position

Hello does anyone know the best place to position axle stands on the front of the v70? Not really sure my thought was on the subframe mounts but wanted to check incase I do any damage and where the best place to lift the car with a trolley jack as the mounting points just seem to be made for the cars scissor jack Cheers

I use the usual jacking points no problem with my big pad on the jack, the place to put the axle stands is where the back of the subframe bolts to the car. Here I took some pics for you where to jack it and where to stick the axle stands.

No worries mate, I agree it’s better safe than sorry with things like this.. don’t want to be crushed by a car or damage the floor..
