Default carjack and tower locations

I seem to have difficult time trying to find an area to lift the car without habing to slightly bend or hear the metal almost give up in the undercarriage. Is very difficult to use the car edges as the towers tend to.catch the lower area of the side skirts.

You need to look at your owners manual, it shows you where to put the floor jack, and where to put the jackstands on the pinch welds. From what I'm seeing, you are crushing the underside of your car and damaging the suspension. That is a safety concern!
Glad you don't work on my car!
