I bought a pinch weld jack adapter before reading about using a hockey puck. The adapter looks like this:
Grip Pinchweld Jack Adapter Hockey puck is cheaper and doesn't deform like how I initially feared it would. If you use a piece of wood, make sure you cut the groove across the grain (not with the grain). Also watch that the piece of wood doesn't compress (soft wood)...a piece of hardwood would be better.

There is a guy on G35 Driver who molded some jack pads for the factory jack location. I was thinking of getting some. You have to go a few pages but it's located here:

I don't get it? How do you use it? I just put my jack under some sturdy frame parts and jack it up. I only did it once so far for my fist oil change. Anyone willing to put up a pic of it in use?
Thanks Bob |
