So I went to jack up the rear of my car to 1) change the rear pads and 2) install my new exhaust. However, in attempting to jack up the rear of my car on the pinch welds (the recommended points) I started hearing some crackling noises and then the pinch weld just completely caved in. Apparently it was rusted up underneath and just completely gave way. I was lucky I was even able to remove the jack safely without ripping off my side skirts. With that said, I can no longer use this point to try and jack up my car. The fronts aren't really in the most impressive shape as well.
So my questions are, where else can I jack up the rear and still get good clearance and support to do work like installing my exhaust? Pics would be greatly appreciated for me and anyone else who might have this question.
Also if I ever attempt to use a lift, does the lift arms rest on these points? Because I wouldn't trust putting another ounce of weight or stress on these points anymore.
Thanks for any help.
