Re: Jack point repair with some pics

i NEVER jack my car up at those points, i always hit a piece of frame. as for using the stock jack on those points in which they were intended, i think i did this once and it didnt fair very well.

Re: Jack point repair with some pics

the factory jack points are plenty strong to be use with the provided jack in the rear of the car spare tire well. they are even beefier on my 92. This looks more like the cars were jacked up with the wrong jack, and possible worsened by rust issues weakening the structure.
