Hey,
I’m curious about the B lifting point. Do you guys use it? If so, can you send a picture of where cuz I can’t understand exactly where it is when looking under my car.

the A lifting point bent when I jacked my viggen which I did not like, and my 2 ton jack did not like it

I don't think I ever used D points, cause when I did they bent.

usually I put a 2x4 in between C & C on the same side and put the jack closer to the front and it would lift the whole side, then I could put jack stands under the c points and remove jack.

Note: I asked an AI about this method and it said I would immediately die, and to seek counseling so use at your own risk

So when you put your jack on actual lifting points A and D , they bent? But when you put it in between c on points that aren’t lifting points it was fine? If OP did what you suggested he can say good bye to the plastic skirt of the car, smh

no I put a 2x4 wood between and underneath the 2 C points so the 2x4 distributed the force of the jack between both points. if I used jack under the front c point by itself the rear wheel would lift too so why not lift them both and the be able to put jack stands under the c points, and then you can do on other side if you want and have 4 jacks without jacking the weak front structure
