That pinch weld was NOT bent by just jacking up the car (at least according to some "experts" on this other thread) /s

They CANNOT support the weight of the car unless you have the "puck" device that supports on either side of the pinch.


Drive the car up on a 2X4 and then use the low profile jack to jack on the jack points identified in the manual.


I can almost guarantee that ALL of the people above that said that it is OK to jack by the pinch welds have not done it on this car
