I have always wondered if these jack points are strong enough to support the weight of the whole car, after all they are made up of only bent sheetmetal. Sure, they can support the weight of one corner of the car as intended for changing tires etc. but the full weight of the car, even though you are spreading it out over four points, I don't know. My question is,I guess is will it do any structural damage to the area around the jack points as it appears to only be welded to and made of sheetmetal. What about seam splitting of the caulk etc. Although the car does flex anyway ehile driving even though you can't feel it. Am I reading too much into this?
