I wouldn't use the lower arm, they're not designed to support the weight of the car on the underside. They were recalled many years ago for strengthening after a few bent after owners had done this. Unlikely you'll have one that isn't strengthened but even so, its not the best place.

I used to use a trolly with a lump of wood on to make contact before it hit the skirts.... not the safest way though
