Safely lifting your car is VITAL! If you are lifting your car for an oil change, rotating tires, or any basic maintenance, following these steps will help properly and support the car on jack stands. Yes you should be using jack stands and not relying only on the vehicle jack to support the car. Use the proper vehicle lift points, so you don't have a "vehicle lift failure". Please safely lift the car each and every time!#humblemechanic #howto #DIY

Glad to see that keeping the jack lightly raised and putting the wheels under the side of the car is widely accepted. My dad always taught me to do those two things and I’m sure glad he did. My buddy nearly died after a jack stand slipped and pinned him. Gotta be as careful as possible!

Or an alternative solution would be to put 2x8's stacked under each wheel (if the wheels are still on the car) I've also used those plastic car ramps and slide them under the wheels. I don't like driving up onto them though but they work great if you've jacked the car up then put under tires. I think 2x8's stacked are best though.

I am surprised you didn’t mention after setting the first pair of stands, you need to keep an eye on these while jacking the other side, the car can pull on the stands and pull them over if you are not being careful especially if the jack can’t roll and shift while jacking the car. 👍

One extra thing I like to do is take the weight off and reposition my stands slightly once I get the vehicle where I want it; this is especially true if I'm jacking high or I'm going to have it up there a while. These stands can bind and get side loads when jacked like this. That little lift off and set down can eliminate a lot of that.
@crpth1
@crpth1 3 года назад
Yep! That's how it should be done. Particularly when using the regular floor jacks. which have a radial lift movement, not straight up/down. Like many scissor or bottle jacks. When lifting high in these conditions. Eyes and ears are your best friend. Observe and listen CAREFULLY! All the signs are there to be seen or heard! Don't be lazy, get down on your knees and look at what you're doing, correct as needed! Been lifting cars for almost 40 years with all sorts of lifting equipment, thankfully never had a single failure. Laying under a car is uncomfortable, don't make it dangerous as well! Take your time, so it don't take your life! ;-)

@benhaze1010
@benhaze1010 3 года назад
In many (many) cars the pinched weld is just an indicator and the OEM car jack distributes the load on reinforcement pads located near the pinched weld. Putting a stand or using a flat surface to lift will crush the pinched weld and possibly make some damages to the vehicle.

This is probably the best video explaining how to lift a car on 4 jack stands, and I've seen many. Having said that, I've made the decision that if the job involves lifting the car completely (front and rear), I'd take the car to the mechanic. It's not worth it.

@boostednick
@boostednick 2 года назад
Yeah same. I just purchased an adjustable front sway bar and some other small front suspension parts for my MK5 GTI and have been debating on whether I want to attempt the job myself or take it to a shop. It's not that I can't do the install, it's getting the car jacked up on all 4 corners and getting underneath to drop the subframe and then having to torque the new subframe hardware in once I'm done installing the sway bar. The thought of being under there for that long sketches me out plus when I have to lift the car to get all 4 corners up the car shifts when I'm jacking up the other side. It's definitely sketchy af lol. After writing this comment I think I'm just going to take it to a shop lol
@GageDrums
@GageDrums 2 года назад
I disagree. Just take the necessary precautions! I put the car on jack stands. put ramps under the wheels, put a jack under the car (I just bought a new one so now I have 2 jacks under the car). and if any wheels are taken off I slide them under the frame. Essentially, My jack stands need to fail, my jacks need to fail, the car has to somehow break the ramps and crush wheels in order to land on me. I feel really safe under the vehicle!

Phew! So glad you made it out. An acquaintance of mine was crushed by his car doing an oil change and did not make it. Just like firearms. There are no accidents. Just gross negligence. When I started taking auto shop freshman year of high school our first lesson was lifting a car using a jack and securing it on stands. Even though we had a full blown shop with lifts. I am sure those safety lessons saved a bunch of people from being negligent and causing harm to themselves or others. Very nice that this video went up sharing invaluable safety tips.

This is a great video. There are a lot of videos about jacking up GTi’s where people just say to use the pinch welds but you invariably need to jack somewhere else to put it on the 4th pinch weld… Good for me to know as my laziness has had me jack up next to the jack point so I can put a stand under the pinch weld. I’m sure my car has loved that.
@tedjohnson64
@tedjohnson64 5 лет назад
Good video! If actually going under the car (eg, DSG service), as opposed to just jacking it up to bleed brakes, some folks actually insert an additional pair of jack stands as a backup. And get the second pair from a different manufacturer. Seems like overkill, but with 3000 lbs overhead, better safe than sorry.

@KSSilenceAU
@KSSilenceAU 4 года назад
In My case, i have 2 pairs of stands, that are different brands, and i have 2 floor jacks, so i use both floor jacks as backups to the standards. Another thing you could do if leaving the wheels on such as when doing fluid services, is to put something like blocks under the wheels so if the jacks fail, the wheels will land on the blocks affording you some clearance to GTFO from underneath asap.

The risk isnt the jack stand collapsing really, thats super rare, it definitely doesnt hurt to use extras though, just in case. The real risk is them tipping over. Thats why doing 4 jackstands is dangerous, and why extra stands wont help you. You are far better off with wooden cribbing. Cheaper, and you can build them with a nice wide foot print.

But now that I have the jack pad adapters, I won't be using the subframe. Too bad I did not find your video and the adapters earlier, my rear pinch welds are in really rough shape after years of abuse.

Base is three points flat which makes it secure. I felt competely safe under them. They are expensive but well worth the money for safety.

@AJB1
@AJB1 9 месяцев назад
The earlier generation VW group cars had a pad just inside the pinch-weld where the factory tyre-change jack lifted the car, so the pinch-weld didn't take the weight. The current generation like the Golf mk7 in the video, the factory jack does sit on that part sticking down from the pinch weld where he's jacking it and that's what takes the weight. So I think they've made it a lot stronger than the old easily-damaged pinch welds.
@deeze67
@deeze67 5 лет назад
I did almost the same steps on my 2002 A3 8L last year... except I used the standard VW jack, and after lifting one side, it was bending its base whenever I tried to lift the other side - quite dangerous, as the car was slipping a bit even with properly placed jackstands! Managed to lift it with two such jacks, but now I know - I need to buy a proper 2T jack to securely lift the other side, as its lower and it makes for even more lifting for the jack.

This is the best how to I've seen on how to properly and safely get your Golf on jack stands. On my Mk4 Jetta I've used a 4x4 about 3ft long on the jack and jacked the sub frame in front and in the rear same thing but on the beam axle it worked perfectly with a Mk4 just make sure the jack is centered pretty easy to tell if you've got it balanced correctly , but these Mk7 AWD are a different animal

I've read and seen video using the Audi jack pad kit and it's pretty tight getting a jack into those Audi pads and placing jack stands at the pinch weds simultaneously you have to have certain jack stands (and jack) (like the ones shown in this video) AND position the jack a pretty sharp angle to accomplish it.

I've put my car up on jack stands in the dirt with remnants of rocks that were put there a few times. Wish I had a concrete floor. You can do it, but you need to make sure you're using at least 3/4" plywood cutouts for the stands to rest on. Also make sure the stands are the same height as the dirt might be higher on one side. Possible, but still feels sketchier than a nice flat floor. You also need a nice solid piece of wood for your floor jack.

For the other jackstands you showed briefly at least for the ones sold at Harbor freight , they sell nice tight fitting resting rubber pads so no need for a cloth .Thanks

nice video, thank you. I suggest to get yourself some rubber pads to match the pinch welds or lifting points instead of rag. You won´t do any damage to the car and you can get a set of 4 for around 20€. When i buy used car, i hate when the pinch welds are bent from bad lifting :/

Each side of the car usually has 3 notched out parts on the pinch welds to jack. There’s the two you showed on each side and usually one midway down the car in the middle somewhere. What I do is jack on the middle notched out section it lifts both wheels front and back off the ground then I put my jack stands on the areas that it recommends in the manual. Then repeat on the other side and if you need more hight jack up the one side fix the stands and repeat on the otherside. Also take the tires off and place them at the four jacks stands incase the jack stands fails and take the jack and have it holding either the front or back of the car for extra protection

Some cars like the camaro actually have a jackup spot at center mass on each side so you can lift and put the two stands under without the need for additional jacking points, but beware, slotted pucks are required.

Those stands are pretty sweet! Unfortunately I don't have the option of a smooth level surface. I have a gravel driveway that ain't flat! I make it work though.
