jack 850

posted by  someone claiming to be rich on  Sat Oct 1 09:23 CST 2005 [RELATED]

One would think that for a company that is focused on safety they could come up with a better jack than the standard issue jack. I agree that it`s just plain dangerous. My wife had owned her 850 for 3 months when I got the emergency call one morning; flat on the way to an important meeting. Crisis!! She couldn`t figure out to operate the jack & when I got there I tackled it & got the tire changed(those useless donut tires are another issue!!) but it was a little scary. I now use a hydraulic jack under the axle which has worked fine tho` I`ve only used it once & at home, not under combat conditions. At least, it doesn`t lift the whole side of the vehicle.
