Where to Place the Jack for a Corolla?
1 Answers
If changing a spare tire, the jack should be placed under the raised position on the side of the chassis near the door sill. Ensure the jack is positioned straight to prevent tilting or slipping, then you can proceed to change the tire. Precautions for using a car jack: Do not place the jack under the bumper position, as this can easily cause damage to the car's bumper. When using the car jack, ensure there are no passengers remaining in the car to avoid the risk of the jack slipping during use, which poses significant safety hazards. Precautions for changing a car tire: Use the jack to slightly lift the car, then use a tire wrench to loosen the tire nuts. Do not remove them completely; wait until the tire is lifted off the ground before fully removing them. The direction to loosen the screws is towards the rear of the car. When supporting the chassis with the jack, there are usually position indicators for the support points. Make sure the support point is perpendicular to the ground surface to avoid instability and tipping. After removing the old tire and installing the new one, tighten the nuts in a diagonal sequence.
