Default What is this rubber donut thing that everyone is talking about?
I was doing some research on jacking points and I notice some TT'ers jack up their car at the rubber donuts. Does anyone have a picture of what they look like?

I have read others saying jacking up the car at the rubber donut may damage the floorpan. So what's the consensus?

Apparently, you didn't use the "rubber donut thing".

Also, isn't the floor jack bending the bodywork in this picture?
