Jack stands question
I got the Michelin jack stands to keep my car lifted up during my storage period. I put all 4 jacks but one of my rear jack would stand free and not get any weight on it, meaning only 3 jack stands are lifting my car..
is that normal? or is michelin jacks are screwed up or am i just on uneven surface? |
Your on a uneven surface, put a block of wood on that one jack stand. Unless you didn't raise the stands to all the same height.
|
what i do is the same, i put a piece of wood under each uneven stand to hold the weight as evenly as possible to ensure so, kick each stand to make sure its tight,
this process is usually a bitch! |
There is absolutely no reason to store your car on stands.
|
^i was just worried bout my tires.
i dont want it to sit there for 9 months. |
So take them off and put on 4 spare tires.
|
i finally evened out
but will uneven weights on the jacks bend my chassis? |
just store it on the wheels. i've done that for 10 years with my car now and never had an issue... sometimes the car has sat for 2 years at a time!
