Thread: lift points

that looks low as piss bill

i disagree, my car cant use pinch welds they crumble and fold due to rust and corrosion because i live in canada we have plenmty of snow which means plenty of salt. my car was almost unable to be lifted because of this issue. its a 2002 40th anniversary edition only little over 2000 of them made and your saying i should scrap it and or sell it because of some rust? i paid $650 got the rocker fixed and alllll the rust on my drivers side GM would have charged $1775 for parts and 21 hrs of labour at $96 per hr. if you dont have a reasonable body worker then i suppose choose your insane method of wasting a car. gm didnt think of road salt or rust and the pinch welds are only good to jack if car is in perfect shape no rust or weakness in the pinch welds and their is a subframe thats ment for floor jacking. hoist lifts work diffrently but they seem to have to use the pinch welds. the body repair man told me do not use pinch welds they arent strong enough no more and my rust hole was actualy caused by the previous owner jacking on the p-welds crumbled it poked a hole and then rusted out.. id love for you to take pics of a grand prix you jack on the p-welds and would love to see pics of you doing it with no damages done to the welds at all because i could greatly use the help
