Bent jack points - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Body shop warped them, can they be straightened out? Will they then still have enough integrity for their purpose?

I think so. Mine are slightly bent and every car I have owned they've been bent in some way.

I noticed mine was a little bent too, like the reinforced part. So found some pucks and sawed a wedge into the puck for it to sit on. http://i.imgur.com/VfBooOD.jpg

i did that too... twice. both times after a couple uses, the pinch weld cut right thru the puck and split it in half.

but for the record, until the pucks split in half, they worked awesome! lol

yes they still have integrity. Mine's are completely bent. The bent point is not the integrity, you're fine.

Ok, it's just annoying fitting them in my jack stands now and was wondering whether I should bother complaining to the shop or not.
