| Description of the problem | When i bought this car i found the top of the scissors jack was bent over, i replaced it with a very good junkyard replacement. Last night i got a flat and when i jacked up the car. The top of the jack bent over just as the wheel was coming off the ground. It bent exactly the same way as the original. These are stamped steel jacks of a light steel and no bracing on the top riser and in my opinion, dangerous. |
