So is there any consensus on how to jack a car while using the pinch weld ?
I've read numerous blog, forum post etc etc and ... its still not clear
1- Should we push UNDER the pinch weld with a slotted rubber or wood craddle not touching the rocker panel or .... ?
2- Should we push each side of the pinch weld (rocker only ) without touching it at all with a slotted piece of rubber or wood .....?
3- Should we push under and on both side (rocker ) of the pinch weld ?
What is your pick ? 1-2 or 3 ?
My pick is #2 so far all is good
I've read a few repair manual available online and , there is some sort of consensus.
Most advise if not all to jack from the center of the front and rear crossmember and or on very precise dedicated locations and to use the pinch weld only for the jack stands during tire replacement , whos doing that ?
