Hi all,
This mainly pertains to my saturn sl1 99. when I jack the car up I have been using the sub frame to do so(the recommended jack point on the car is the pinch welds, but I am afraid a normal floor jack would bugger those up without some type of adapter.) Yesterday during my oil change I noticed I had put a small dent in the subframe.
My first question: is this likely cosmetic, or is it possible I messed the frame up, and messed the alignment up? (I assume its fine, and only cosmetic since its only a tiny dent, maybe a inch long, and only milimeters wide, from one of the lips on the jack pad of the floor jack)
My second question: is the subframe not safe to use a floor jack on? If its not can you recommend any other point that may be safe? The jack in use is a 3 ton harbor frieght floor jack?
Thanks all.
