There is a notch location just about below front fender. It is a gap in the downward protruding flange that will be the size of the top of the jack. Set parking brake and chock or block rear wheels if possible to prevent vehicle moving and avoid injury.
very possible a wheel bearing failing allowing the disc rotor to touch the caliper housing. Also check cv joints.. Jack up the wheel suspected and hold the wheel top and bottom and see if you have movement in and out. There should be none.
Yes that is normal for a front wheel drive vehicle. The power is applied to the wheel on the passenger side only until a given amount of wheel speed is obtained then the drivers side will spin at the same rate. Although if you raise the front of the vehicle and spin the tires by hand in neutral you should feel equal resistance. If the driver side wheel has excessive resistance to turning the wheel bearing may be to tight..
if you are talking about the sway bar end links. you can replace them yourself to save a few bucks. first Raise the front of the vehicle with a hydraulic jack. Place jack stands under the frame on each side of the vehicle. Lower the hydraulic jack so that the weight of the vehicle is supported by the jack stands and the front wheels are off the ground. locate the sway bar end links on either side of the front sway bar. Remove the bolts from each end of the sway bar end link. replace the bushings in the same order you take them off. you can go to any auto parts store and buy end links for your car.
Due to your Buick being only the second year of the drivers side air bag in the steering wheel...I recommend you first disconnect one side of the battery...You should find 2 bolt heads...one on each side...on the backside of the steering wheel handles (spokes)...when you remove these...the front trim of the horn assembly should pull forward allowing you to replace or repair one of the buttons...:)
Look under the side of the car about 6 inches from the wheel wheel (always between front/rear tires). There is usually a seam of sheet metal joints along the bottom and a 1 or 2 inch notch is cut to allow jack placement (if using factory jack for changing tires).
This is a heavy car, do not work under the car when using the light weight jack that came with the car. Also, do not use cinder blocks (bricks) to support the car if your are going under the car. Use only high quality jack stands on a level surface and place chucks under any wheels still on the ground to prevent rolling.
