Cracked windshield from jacking up car

Not to say you did anything wrong, but i'm positive the chassis did flex at least a little bit. I would never let a wheel hang like your front one

Not to say you did anything wrong, but i'm positive the chassis did flex at least a little bit. I would never let a wheel hang like your front one is doing without any support. It might be fine if you're swapping wheels over a few minutes time (and you don't need it that high to swap over a wheel) but leaving it like that while you work on the car is probably not so good.

You could have just jacked it up from the rear and raised both tires and at least kept the chassis from twisting.

(Yes, I did the same thing many years go, but from the front and let the rear wheel hang, and the gap in the door and front fender were never the same. The car sat up for a few hours while I was doing a timing belt/water pump replacement.)
