[QUOTE="gunnerzz, post: 1064733666, member: 166532"] Yes and no. All car have specific point at the pinch weld where u can jack and almost all cars are equipped with jack which have slot on the surface meeting the pinch weld like bro lsm 1991 said. Look closely at the spot u will notice there will be solid surface behind the pinch weld. In your case i believe it is caused by using the hydraulic jack which have the steel cup instead of a slotted top. To prevent damaged when using hydraulic jack some used thick rubber pad or a few piece of tire cut to fit the steel cup. I believe most car hoist have this to prevent damage, you can check those hoist to get better picture. On one of my car, the same damage can be found on the area at the front ( behind the front tires ) when i used hydraulic jack without using any additional material to prevent the damage. Funny as i did the same to the rear but no damage. Be very careful when jacking your car be it with the ori spare tire jack or hydraulic jack. Only jack at dedicated spot or spot which can take the load. How to know? Most of the time its logic. Also, the ground where u place your jack must be solid. I know a guy whom severed few fingers when the newly paved road sinks while the car is on hydraulic jack causing the front brake disc to scrape of meat of his fingers and permanently damaged a few.
