<-- Newb where to jack?

Just got my hydraulic jack, where is the best point to put it? Ive tried over the holes on the frame but they seem to get weak once the weight of the car is on the jack. let me know thanks.

There is a good strong spot just in and behind the front wheels. That's where I have been placing my jack.

I think I was going just in from the circles. There is sort of a Tee in the frame going back and the arm with the circles on it. Place it on the front to back part of the frame.

Its black, but there is some overspray. There are two larger circles and then a smaller bolt hole. I have been placing the jack on the bolt hole sized circle.
