In that area there is a rectangular 'rib' about a half inch wide by about 2 inches long. I find centering on that is a very good balance point. If you can, get some sheet metal or strong cardboard and slip down between the engine tin and the nuts on the inboard suspension arm shaft ends. The engine tin tends to hang up on those nuts and anything to prevent that saves a lot of time and danger. Be sure the jack can roll freely before you start working.
