Where is the jack generally placed on a van?

[LeElliott]

The jack of a van is generally placed on the raised position of the side sill near the tire to be replaced. If not operated correctly, such as placing the jack on the steel plate of the chassis, the bumper, or the crossbeam, it is highly likely that the jack will deform the side skirt and cause unnecessary damage to the chassis. When changing a tire, the jack should be placed on the following parts: Align the jack with the support points on the vehicle chassis. Near the wheels on both sides of the chassis, there are support points designed for the jack to contact. The lifting part of the jack must be supported on the chassis support points. Otherwise, it will be difficult to secure the vehicle, and it may damage the jack or even the chassis. After lifting the vehicle, take safety measures first. Before changing the spare tire, you can place the spare tire under the car. In case the jack fails, the spare tire can prevent the car from falling directly. Tire changing steps: Remove the hub cover and use a wrench to take off the nuts. Turn the jack handle clockwise to lift the car until it reaches the bottom of the vehicle. Use a socket wrench to loosen the wheel bolts, but do not remove them completely. Continue turning the jack handle to raise the jack until the wheel is about 5 cm off the ground. Unscrew the bolts and remove the tire. Take out the spare tire and place it on the hub, while putting the just removed tire inside. Reinstall the nuts, hand-tighten the bolts, then lower the jack until the tire touches the ground. Finally, use the socket wrench to tighten each bolt one by one to complete the process.
