Floor jack ba siya sir o yung parang bottle na jack?

800kg (0.8 ton) is more than enough. You are only lifting 1 tire. You still have 3 tires that support the vehicle. What is the curb weight of your vehicle? Divide that by 4.

Whoa! Hold on my friend. Do not use a garage jack as you would with the scissors jack that came with the car. First, the garage jack average height ranges around 17 - 17 1/2 inches from the finished floorline whereas the car's jack only raise to around 10 inches. Second, do not use a garage jack at any one corner of the car specially unibody/unitized body. The car's frame can twist so much that might crack the windshield or rear window or delaminate it away from the windshield/window frame causing water leaks when it rains. If you watched this from Scotty Kilmer, don't do it for reasons just stated.

I'm talking about jack for changing your flat tire. Not lifting your car all the way up. Hope this is clear to you.

I hope readers don't raise their cars on any one corner using a garage jack.

Diko masiyado gets sir, nakahiram po kasi ako ng floor jack sa kaibigan ko ganto po siya Prostar 2 Ton Floor Jack 3 Max Lift Height Red with Blown Case | Lazada PH. Hindi po ba pwede gumamit ng ganto pag isang side lang ang iaangat? Tinanong ko kasi yung mechanic sa may goodyear samin ang sabi is wala daw jack point ang honda city sa front? BTW ano po ba ang garage jack?
