There is only an axle at one end, so I don't see how you can do this,
really. If they mean, do not support the car by 4 "sprung" points
simultaneously, I can understand that. It is very hard to find a sprung
point where you can fit a stand in the front, anyway. I usually use an
"unsprung" frame point -- either the bottom of the engine crossmember, or
the side frame rails.
