Bent Jack Point

I bent my damn driver's front jack point, which really pisses me off Anything I can do about it? I can't jack it up from there anymore because it will bend up and smash into the car, and I can't bend it back because it will fatigue and possibly break off. Damn jack. I hate it when I do things and then wish I didn't do them...

Mine folded over too ... last year. I just place the floor jack "pad" under it - never had any problems.

Bend it back and then have it welded up. I would only allow arc welding, no torch to be used around there.

use the frame rail that is just a few inches away toward the centerline of the car.

I'm pretty sure thats not strong enough for a lifting point.
