Question jack points underneath??

If the jack points on the underbody of the car is messed up will that effect the rigidness of the chassis or frame is it?? i'm not reallly sure about this stuff (terminology) and how it works with the whole car. the car looks as if one side was jacked wrong..

so the under part look a little like this. Driverside

(front) [____________]-._./~~\__.-.__/ (rear)


other side is okay. I got it checked.. guy said it wasn't a problem but that it couldn't be fixed? jsut want to get othe rpeoples opinions

yeah, exactly right, the frame. If you're worried, the Chiltons or any manual shows you where. And I can't vouch for the person before you lol, because some people are pretty stupid.

Pics?
