I have one jack and 4 stands to put car on for oil change and detailing of rims and wheel wells. Where would be the best place to put jack to do one corner at a time? Obviously, I can do the back under rearend, but I don't know the best place to do the front. Any input would be helpful. Thanks .

for the front i would say either under the K-member or the control arms. i have always gone under the control arms

if your lowered then getting under the K member with a 1.5 tone jack is going to me a pain, control arms is what i do, then i put it on jack stands.

Jacking up a lowered Camaro is no fun. I'd drive the car up on some wood blocks first. Then catch the car under the front control arms. Its much easier to do with my SFC's. Just jack up on them guys. But I havent used a jack in years, lifts ftw.
