Technical Jack under differential

A worn out wool body polishing pad on your floor jack pad should protect the pumpkin. Bob

 

I don't think your wedding cake is capable of worrying about things.......Definately different ways of speaking/writing, compared to the English that we use. I accept that......

 

must have had a senile moment with the not , or it could be a NOT, not joke ..

 

so your not the Cambells pork and beaner ????


as for the friends who drive Fords , if they drive a Ford to begin with they are not my friend . ( specially after they ask me to fix the Forked Over re*****d design parts changing every quarter or 3 full moon Vehicle .. never had a Gm where you had to know the plant , Day and shift your car was built to and the color of the car too sometimes , just to order parts for it . . and the late 70's early 80s 302s and 351s with their metric fasteners on one side Imperial on the other ( someone in engineering had a sick sense of humor )

 

Me,too.

 

Is that the rear ford put a plastic cover on? Where the tooth of the puck on top of the jack can punch a hole in the cover when lifting?

 

Only if you don't watch what you are doing.

There are several million on the road, and this never proved to be an issue.

I took my 8.8 cover to the rifle range. it's stronger than you think.

 

Again, what about jacking up a car with a quick change rear end ?

Blue, you'll have to buy 4 "Back to the Future" Hover Boards™ and park on them! No more magic ramps like in your avitar!

I've seen the warning in Ford manuals also, but both my cars have the IRS 8.8, so I thought it was just for them. Seems like their was a note about bearing damage, I assumed they meant the inner CV's on the axles because the center section is rubber mounted, but who knows?

 

Really? you'd be concerned about a 9"?!.

 

Those magic ramps have been awful handy when crawling around under the car.
If I was a little better off I'd have a 12' ceiling and a magic 4 post car hoist.
The older I get the more I'm leaning in that direction.

 

Yup, know the feeling! I puled the Plymouth onto a set the other day to check something under it, and my fat @ss still wouldn't fit! Afterwards I realized I should have backed it on so the rake wouldn't work against me! I have a Quick Lift in the shop (not enough ceiling height for a full lift), but I tore the T apart on it.
