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.

Donut jacking: interesting reading for me.
Early on in my build when fixing rust, dents, adding stiffening, etc. I used the rear donuts to jack the car almost all the time. I remember trying to jack it up using one of the front donuts once, and was shocked to notice the floor deforming! I quickly dropped it, "persuaded" that section of the floor back into place - this was before paint remember - and decided never to jack up the car on the front donuts ever again. I still routinely use the rear donuts to jack the car, then use a wrapped wooden spreader along the rocker (sill) area to take the load with a jack stand. Not seen any deformation around the rear donuts thus far. - Tony PS. @euro911 : LOL |
