Bent Lower Front Jack Flange
I was reading some threads about possible factory changes on the front jack ratings for '07 and went out to the garage to see if a rating was posted on the front screw jack of our new 2720sl. I couldn't find a rating but I noticed that the lower support flange was bent downward. We only towed the TM from the dealership and have not embarked on any adventures. I believe I'm completely innocent in the matter. I've enclosed a few photos but I don't know if they can be included in the thread.
It doesn't appear that the flange is weight bearing and that it's simply a guide to hold the jack vertical. If that is correct should I just bend it back into position with a crescent wrench or should it be reinforced somehow? I would appreciate advice. Thanks, Eric
