On the front of the W123's there is a strong cross-member that can be used to raise the front of the vehicle.

This cross member is located just rear of the oil pan.

Place the jack directly centered on this cross member and then begin slowly lifting. Re-check the position of the jack as you lift it to ensure it stays centered. If it does not, lower it and start again.
