I've noticed that the front jacking points on my car aren't level, and wondered if they've gone up as the car has been lifted - thoughts? It all seems solid.

They are crooked because those aren't jacking points!
There is noting solid on the other side, using them as jacking points means you are deforming your floorpan. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |

I had used a reference on the world referencing round 'donuts' that were safe to jack on - evidently not! What purpose do those areas serve ? So where is good to Jack up the car? |

jack under the engine mounting bar, or the front cross member, these are to rest jack stands with pieces of plywood to cushion the jack stand from the donut

Cheers George. No engine mounting bar. It's a 6. I've been jacking on the rear donuts or on the trailing arm pick up points at the rear - no good?
