Jack Stand Uses
- Tire Changes: Jack stands are often used in conjunction with a hydraulic or mechanical jack to lift a vehicle, allowing for the safe removal and replacement of tires.
- Brake Repairs: When working on the brake system, including brake pad replacement or rotor resurfacing, jack stands are used to secure the vehicle at an elevated position.
- Oil Changes: While a jack is used to lift the vehicle, jack stands provide a stable platform for the vehicle to rest securely during an oil change.
- Undercarriage Inspections: Jack stands are essential for providing a stable base when inspecting or working on the undercarriage of a vehicle, such as checking for exhaust system issues, examining the suspension components, or inspecting the transmission.
- Exhaust System Repairs: When repairing or replacing parts of the exhaust system, jack stands help support the vehicle securely, allowing the mechanic to access the exhaust components safely.
- Suspension Work: When conducting repairs or upgrades to the suspension system, including replacing shocks or struts, jack stands provide a stable foundation for the vehicle.
- Transmission Repairs: For tasks involving the transmission, such as fluid changes or repairs, jack stands help ensure the vehicle remains securely lifted.
- Chassis Repairs: Any work that involves the chassis, such as frame repairs or modifications, requires the use of jack stands to maintain a stable and safe working environment.
