Below: such a tripod stand is also placed only under the mark (1). In any case, it should stand behind the outer fold of the body or on the side member under the body. In order not to damage the body, it is recommended to put a board between them (2).
Jacks come in all price ranges and for different purposes. The different types are described here:
- Standard (side) jack: Always place a small board underneath to prevent the base of the jack from being pressed into the ground.
- Parallelogram jack: in this case, only a stable model is recommended. This jack is installed on a car whose body is already weakened at the lifting points. This jack can be installed a little further towards the center of the body.
- Hydraulic plunger lift: check its lifting height before buying. A model that is too short will not lift the wheels to the desired height from the ground. And a lift that is too high simply will not fit under the car.
- Garage (mobile) jack: For a car enthusiast, a short, small model that doesn't take up much space is best.
