Where to Place the Jack When Changing a Car Tire?

[DiSawyer]

The jack for changing a car tire is generally placed about 10-20 centimeters away from the tire. Here are some relevant guidelines: 1. Chassis guard plate: Never place the jack directly under the chassis guard plate or the lower control arm of the suspension. Incorrect jack usage or supporting at the wrong position can easily cause damage to the vehicle. 2. Hard surface: The correct method is to park the vehicle securely, preferably on a level road, engage the handbrake, shift the automatic transmission into P gear, and ensure the ground supporting the jack is also a hard surface. 3. Hazard: If the ground is soft, such as sand, grass, or mud, it is recommended to place a hard wooden board or stone slab under the jack to prevent it from sinking or slipping.
