jack pad slot height
What good is a jackpad with a slot if the slot is not deeper than the thing it holds? Isn't the idea that the weld area fits completely in the slot and the car is supported on either side of the slot? I accidentally came across a jack pad with a slot in it, so the weld line on unibody cars doesn't hold the weight of the car when you jack it up. And that's when I realized a) I need that, b) the jack that came with the car has a slot, but if I jack it up at home I use a better jack with no slot, c) there is already damage from people before me jacking it up, and d) the drain holes in the fender could be damaged if I were stupid enough to put the jack there. But...... the slots range from 1/4 inch to 0.63 inches, and my pinch weld is almost an inch high on the outside and higher yet on the inside. What good is that? |
