Help axle stand crumpled some undercarriage
Hello,
I put my 2003 Yaris on axle stands for the first time and was unsure where the reinforced points were. It looked like a point juts down behind each front wheel, so I tried there, but it crumpled. Here are photos showing https://photos.app.goo.gl/agBnkJHAafBcBfon6 1) The non-crumpled passenger side which held an axle stand fine 2 and 3) The crumpled driver side where the undercarriage crumped a bit I would like to ask if this needs urgently fixing, or if it's not too urgent. Also is this something I can repair or fix myself, or would it require a professional? Thankyou! Last edited by mertagnan; 07-04-2021 at 11:35 AM. |

You definitely need to have it looked at that’s some pretty serious rust there. I can’t tell from the pictures if it’s safe to drive the car. I drove VW beetles in the 60s and 70s and some of them were really badly rusted, but I knew they would not fail.
These pictures I just don’t feel qualify to assess what the pros do it
