Whilst jacking up car for suspension rebuild, I noticed the rear jacking points have suffered some damage and corrosion, the nearside has virtually squashed flat and has cracked the metal, has anyone had this issue and resolved it? It doesnt look like it can be repaired, I wondered if they could be removed and either a new part welded in or remove them completely and go for the sill type jack? any thoughts / ideas welcome
 
In normal operation they should be jacked with pads to prevent damage. When taken to tyre shops or 'non-porsche' garages then it's not uncommon for pads not being used and hence damage occurs. The protective underseal gets damaged and then corrosion sets in. Mine had damage to the air-con pipes running along the drivers side. If the jack point has collapsed, then I guess it will take some work to get this repaired. I would check no corrosion has caused this on the chassis. I would then seal any corrosion before winter sets in.

I purchased some pads from a well known bidding site, but any Porsche specialist should sell them.
