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) |
