Thanks for sharing your video. I appreciate your attention to details. For the inside of your rims (the next time you decide to take them off to clean) you could try a clay bar and lube to help remove those stubborn bits of dirt/grime. Cheers!

@AlfisGarage 2 күн бұрын

Thanks! I bought some iron remover so I’ll try with that next time. Never used clay before, but I’ll order some and try with that too! 🙂

This is the best mid rise lift. This lift is sold under many names but it’s awesome. I got rid of the Quickjack and bought this style of lift. And most importantly, it makes you feel safe.

Thanks for watching. I never had the Quickjack and I think it is practical how portable it is, but this seems definitely stronger. 👍

The issue was that the hydraulics and cables were coming out between the two parking spots in the garage. I wanted them to come out at the wall side of the lift :)

I have been looking for a budget lift for my garage here in the US. I really don’t care if it’s made in China as long as it’s solidly built and it’s within my budget. I like the design of this one and it seems pretty well made to me. Plus it has that open middle area which I want. And I have to say you did a good job rerouting all those lines. The electrical work was done very well…..kudos my friend.

@98XC1 Ай бұрын

From the hights of your experience doing this project, would you say it would be easier to remove the entire knuckle strut assembly and then use the holding bolt separator and brass punch to remove the strut? Also question if volvo makes special freaking tool for those ball joints...looking at this P3 suspension and comparing it to P2 gen makes me hate Ford and their involvement in volvo process. Great job and happy you stayed safe.

@AlfisGarage Ай бұрын

Certainly that would be possible too, but then you also need to remove the brake caliper. But then with spring compressor, it is easier to assemble it off the car. Good luck! 👍

@AlfisGarage Ай бұрын

FYI, there are many universal ball joint removers, which work similarly like the one which I have, but they are slightly bigger and probably would fit better. I have just the one I’ve shown on video, but that was a bit too small for this particular ball joint.

@seweryndymkowski5085 Ай бұрын

Hello, do you know how to set the lowering speed of the lift with a load?

@AlfisGarage Ай бұрын

There is a screw/valve on the hydraulic pump that you either loosen or tighten to change how quickly the fluid flows. There is only 1 setting with or without load. If you set it slower while there is a load, it will be REALLY slow if there is no load.

@seweryndymkowski5085 Ай бұрын

In my case, when the car is on the lift and I want to lower it, it can be said that the car is falling and not lowering, I don't know where to look for the reason. Poland

@AlfisGarage Ай бұрын

@@seweryndymkowski5085 that was same for me :D look at my video at 5:50 you can see two “ screws” at the side of the pump - the black is a fitting for hydraulic - and behind it the silver screw is the valve. You need to tighten it a little bit - then test it.

@seweryndymkowski5085 Ай бұрын

I have one more question is there a sensor to make the lift slow down more before the end of lowering?

Thanks for sharing. Perfect timing as I am looking for a scissor lift myself here in North America. Most of the brands here are indeed Chinese sourced too (so I believe TwinBush as well). Ingenious design of the mods. Love it. For my use I would prefer to dolly the lift freely on your "side swipe wheels". I guess it should be possible to introduce a shaft and spindle on them, to enable them to rotate 360 degrees. Cheers.

I've been a musician for 50 years when I keep hearing the same thing over and over and over again for 20 minutes it really starts to drive me nuts .you could have a little bit of light jazz playing that would be more suitable more calming and probably better for your video just a suggestion . I had to actually turn to sound down just to watch the rest of the video I only got about halfway through before I was ready to either turn it off or just turn down the music . all the best

@AlfisGarage 2 ай бұрын

Not that easy, because the lift has a front and rear side and the front is capable for more weight. Since most cars are front heavy, the car front needs to be at the front of the lift. I’m actually surprised how many people have raised this question. I’ll do a follow up video where I’ll try to explain.

It seems to me that if you had turned the lift through 180 degrees (front to back) all of the hydraulic and electrical connections would have been on the "wall" side? What do I know......

That is correct, but the lift has front side which should be at the front of the car due to fact that most cars are front heavy. If I would turn it around I would have to reverse onto the lift. I’ll do a follow up video because the question was raised many times :)

I don't know from what I see. The thing has wheels. All you have to do is spin it around the other way and your wires would be on the other side. Against the wall tinstead, you instead, you spend 10 hours disconnecting everything moving it to the other side which was I don't think of it anyway, whatever you want to do that's all I would have done was just spun the damn thing around.

I wish it would be that easy :) The lift has its front and back side - the way how the legs move, the front can handle more weight and that is why the front of the car should be on the front side of the lift. If I would turn it around, I would have to reverse onto the lift. BTW - it may seem a bigger struggle than it was, but I swapped the lines and cables in about an hour and half... and that was with filming.

@@AlfisGarage Interesting. It's 220 in UK and I don't think I've ever seen power adaptors for sale meant for Europe other than 220 or 240 (old UK domestic voltage) Google also seems to think that the voltage used throughout Europe has been harmonised at 230v since January 2003 (though it does state that it doesn't mean there has been a real change in the supply) Certainly in the UK 3 phase is only really found in commercial buildings such as garages/machine shops etc.

@@Nite-owl Of course we have 230V - that's the usual 1 phase voltage in any home :)... it was 220V in the past... but it has been standardized as you say to 230V now..... when you have 3 phases of 230V, across the phases you would measure 400V (in the past it was 380v)
