Is this hard rubber/ plastic block an official jacking point suitable to lift the entire front of the A160?

Would the position of this axles stand, be OK to take the weight ?

Or more conveniently can one put the axles stand under the front trailinq arm, as in the picture if used with a non leaking jack ... as a failsafe?

Yes its a jacking point. You don't want axle stands on the front suspension as its not level and can move . Look for main chassis part thats structural and flat. Top photo looks OK. Leave the trolley jack in a good place also .and place a wheel under the sill. Last thing you want is to be crushed .

I am 2/3 way thro building a steel platform and staircase then it's cars, all, up on lift for annual look around. I will be making 4 no1.2 m axle stands to keep car up so lift can drop to allow muffler, prop out of clk to change center prop bearing
