Jacked my car up @ the wrong place, now there's a huge HUMP!
I jacked my car up at the wrong point (****!). It is near the front driver side. Now there's a sizable hump close to where the clutch pedal is. Apparently, the spot where I jacked it up is soft. The indentation from the bottom rose up to the top. Would there be any potential problems? How should I fix this? I tried using a hammer, but no luck. HELP! LOL

yeah, so you can see the indent in the actual metal. When you pound the hump out, use a piece of wood when you hammer, so you don't put a mallet direcly to the metal...that will just make it look bumpy in the other direction. The wood distributes the force over a wider area.

this is an idea i had cause i had some difficulty finding jack points. paint all the jack points a different color so you know where to place the jack and jack stands with a quick glance.

yep did the same to my car... it wasn't a big deal to fix....get a metal plate (4" x 4") and place it over the indentation (on the inside of the car) and start hammering on the metal plate until the indentation goes away.
For some additional piece of mind, you may want to respray the exterior and interior with the black weatherproofing underspray.
