what do i jack the front of the car up by? is it like a little cone shaped metal thing? or where do i put the jack?

 

if you're using a floor jack, yes you can use the center jack point that is "cone shaped"...make SURE you put jackstands under the centerline frame member if you're gonna work under the car.

If you're using your car jack (the folding jack), do one side at a time using the factory jack points. They're shown in your owner's manual in the glove box

 

Irish is right, and there is also a diagram on page 6 of my homepage.... see if that helps ya...
