Help: Jack and Jack Stand Points
I needed some help jacking up my is250, I can't get my jack to the bottom jack points , so I tried to jack it from the side jack stand points and it bent the lining is this normal? And is it ok to jack up the car from the side jack stand points ? Also since the lining bent I'm worried that the jack points aren't that strong is it safe to place the jack stands there or should I place them in a different place. Thanks for any help.

You need to use a jack/jack stand pad to provide support so you do not bend the metal tabs at the jack points.

Some people will take a piece of hard rubber, like a hockey puck, and cut a groove in it for a DIY solution.
Make sense?

As for the jack points I put my jack a little bit to the side of those tabs and jack the car from there. Those tabs are where I put my jack stands at. I couldn't find a jack point the middle of the from frame because its covered with all the plastic underbody (does the f-sport only have these?).
