The OP's post was about a jacking incident that resulted in the pictured damage and questioning what it was he broke. Sorry, I didn't realize he had deleted his first post and I was not gonna go back and edit my previous post for obvious reasons.
Now, if you will excuse me, I'm off to take my meds.

What's more disappointing, my lack of retort or the quality of GMS suspension parts?

So I took most of that BS out and corrected some typos in an ill fated attempt to mask my tard-ness.
Wish you hadn't asked now? LOL
So as resident Ford tech, you no doubt will enlighten us as to exactly what it is he busted?
If the picture was bigger than a 1"x1" square on my laptop I'd be able to answer that more accurately

The OP has had a rough couple of days with this issue and the engine washing problem and probably will appreciate this threadjacking.

By "retort" I meant "apology" to Mr Granatelli. He quickly responded to a customer complaint, satisfied that customer and made immediate production line changes to prevent the failure from recurring. You attacked him personally and dismissed his industry accepted gusset addition to strengthen the LCA as a band-aid. When the 2nd failed LCA appeared in the thread, you doubled down on your attack and when that LCA was found to be from another manufacturer you suddenly had nothing to say. Mr Granatelli seems to have more integrity than you.

Yea the picture is pretty useless without zooming, and even then there isn't much detail. In his deleted text he said that he heard the sound of plastic cracking when he was jacking a little on the floor pan.

orginial poster has nothing to do with engine wash but I did read that. THE reason I was trying to jack car up was to find where im dropping oil from. PLEASE redirect attention here.

being a ford "tech" you should easily be able to tell what location that is. I admit the picture is not the greatest but hey the prochamber is visiable and there isn't much else under there that looks like this. Lay down next to car look up about a foot in, and there it is.
