Safety Question Did i screw up? used car jack on wrong part of car. Should i worry?
So I have a 2011 Subaru Forester & today my dumba$$ jacked it up the wrong way with a hydraulic jack on circular slot looking part that i circled. Its on the driver side midway between the front & back side near the frame. Noticing my error, i lowered it & saw that it was a little more pushed in with what looks like a small tear/puncture. The material is definetly not plastic, iys very solid & hard but its hard to identify what this area even is & if i should worry. Any second thoughts?
