2011年3月13日 · Some times jacking up a car is tricky. If the car is on a slope and the jack isn’t on firm ground. The fact that the car seems to be driving normally is a good sign.

2007年10月29日 · I was using my scissor jack to jack up my Taurus this weekend when it suddenly gave out - sending the car (with loosened lug nuts) swiftly to the ground!!

2007年11月6日 · When using a car jack, it is important to always read the instructions carefully and follow them closely. Make sure to place the jack on a flat, stable surface and use jack stands for added security.

2018年3月29日 · So in the next week or two, I have to get several projects done with my car that I have never done myself before. First, I am going to change the oil for the first time because the car has so many issues going on that I can no longer take it to a place even for an oil change. So I went to Walmart yesterday and bought two 2-ton jack stands for about $9 each - which you …
