I'm going to look into this when I apply Fluid Film to the undercarriage.
I am pretty sure this is where the weight is supported by the factory jack.
The inner seam is lower than the outer seam.

The only think I don't like it putting the car directly on the jack stands.
All the weight of the car is concentrated into a very small contact point.
I think I will use a puck or chunk of wood to distribute the weight somewhat.

Only tricky part is to lower the car onto the stands without knocking off the puck or wood.
