the circle in red is where i placed my jack under to lift a del sol. where the LCA bolts to the subframe. is it bent or am i fine?

 

you should be fine, but a good place to jack the car up is on the tow hook by the rear bumper... and in the front i would say in the center of the radiator support

 

dont lift your car there anymore. there are tabs where the jack is supposed to be placed in the front and on both sides

I used to put my car up on the radiator support tab......until it buckled....use pinch welds

 

I use the tabs by the wheels.

 

There are 4 jacking points on either side of the car under the rocker panel front and rear. The radiator support is a big no no. It is way too thin to support 60% of the weight of the car which is what you are doing. The tow points can also be used to jack but don't work under the car with it supported there since it's not a stable jacking point.

 

well... wait did you ask if its bent or not.. just look.. the sheetmetal isn't very thick, might have bent it.. just go look.

 

it's thin... i'm gutted... and it doesn't look bent. there's a bolt there so i figure it would've been fine. i had to because my jack only lifts so high and that was the lowest point. i'm on 4 jackstands right now at the 4 correct spots.
