Using OEM Scissor Jack To Lift Car

+1 for Harbor Freight... I don't get how anyone that works on their car doesn't own a jack... seems like the most basic auto tool if you ask me.

Ha! You do great work...figured I used my "free pass" already lol. I got my rear sway installed tonight...going to do the front in the morning.

My neighbor across the street had a "Big Red" jack that worked nicely. Just need to get a block of wood to get the car higher...it was kinda cramped under there.

After wearing out my OEM scissor jack, I picked up an aftermarket (again autozone jack cause it was close by and didn't have time to wait for an ordered quality one to come in) and it developed the same problem. Honestly I think it's the same as the OEM one it was just painted blue...

I will definitely be getting a low profile jack this summer when I can do my own work outside after the temps go back up.
