The top tips of Jacking up a vehicle to level 支撑车辆至水平的技巧

[@MemberLogic]

Great Video Senior Leigh. I usually jack from the front first and noticed it takes more height with my floor jack to get the front end on my jack stands. The longer distance from the front jack point to the front jack stand adapters explains it. After I get my e350 on all 4 jack stands I go back and jack each end about an inch or so higher and stack 2"x10"x24" boards under each wheel. I then lower back on the jack stands so that the wheel makes contact with the boards but the car is still supported by the jack stands because of the suspension sag. Gives me a bit more piece of mind if I'm going under the car. Also, you may want to look into the ESCO jack stands with the Reverse Logic pivot top mercedes/bmw adapter. They're expensive but worth every penny.

Thank you for such a great comment! you provide a perfect solution to safely lift a vehicle and work under it in the garage. Could you please post that on the forum of leighsr.com with pictures? That would help more garage DIYer.

@@LeighSr Sure thing! I think I have some photos on my phone I can upload this weekend.

Nice video, but how could you trust only stand being under the car? I always put big logs as another safety as well. May be me that’s bit scared 😅 Keep it up.

[@maxagent86]

Very nice, as usual. Would you have a link to the foldable wheel chocks?

[@rogernemos795]

Very nice and clean job. Bravo! Thank you for the video.

Awesome Senior Leigh!

先撑起后差速器是对的 学习了 准备也买一副李兄的无缝铝支架 配合家里的已有的一副jack stand 换前后刹车片或轮胎调位什么的省得倒来倒去 Costco卖的有一种电动支架不错 就是比较占地方 车库够大的话其实整一个专业吊架最好 😂

[@LeighSr]

我最开始考虑过举升机，但无奈车库太矮，才九尺多，升起来以后，在下面坐着不够高，躺着够不着，就放弃了。

[@RMC777]

@@LeighSr 是啊..高度如果不够没法搞 其实车升降机不贵 改造车库挖地或者干脆换房子造价就上来了😂

[@LeighSr]

@@RMC777 我倒是看一些老房子有比较高的车库，新房子的车库都比较矮，尤其是两层的房子。

[@jrm163]

我是自己用2x12做了两个ramp （比买的那种结实多了），车库前本来就有点斜坡，每次开上ramp. 基本上是平的。

Thanks for sharing.

Great videos. Do the front wheels lock with the vehicle in park, if the car is RWD? I'm concerned my car could roll forward if I jack up the rear first. Thanks.

[@LeighSr]

If the ground is level, it’s okay for unsecured front wheels. If the ground is slope, place a wheel stop under the front wheels.

[@CORZER0]

Thank you, Master Leigh. Do you think it would be harmful to the struts to leave the car on the jack stands for a week? I want to have my wheels refinished and need to take them to the shop all at once. It will take several days to refinish the wheels.

[@LeighSr]

Thank you and don’t worry, that’s okay to leave the car on the jack stands even a month or a year.

[@CORZER0]

@@LeighSr Thank you! I will not worry about it then.

[@angelred364]

do you have to push the button on the dash where the car looks like its going to get towed?

[@Woodland26]

Your white E350, being a W212, seems to have different points for the stands, each area has a cut out rectangle around the jack points. I had the W210 in past and it has a rubber pad built in for each area.

[@LeighSr]

Yes, there is a jacking puck adapter like this amzn.to/31fGxEJ, but that can not fit the jack stand.

[@N.E.ACMG47]

Thank you very much !!

[@sc225]

But there is an issue. In my area the garage floor are usually have a overall 4 " different from the house to front base on a 25 ft long garage. So any water will be slide towards to the front instead. I use a quick jack for my BMW and now I have to go to State to get the extented for my 2 C350 since the jackpoint is over 60". Canada such I can ship them in but almost the cost is double.

Hi, do you have some information on how to replace the front wheel bearing on a 2013 e350 4matic, i been looking everywhere and can't find any info on how to do it, thank you

[@LeighSr]

Sure, and can you open a new thread on www.leighsr.com/forum in order to I can upload some documents pulling from WIS about your question and discuss it.

[@joansa6055]

@@LeighSr I just did, thank you for replying i really appreciate it

[@ryturria01]

On the rear jack placement, are you lifting under the differential? thanks

[@LeighSr]

Yes, and later I will make a video to explain it.

[@Woodland26]

@@LeighSr please! want to see exactly where to put it. My next thing to learn is to do brake fluid change. Just did the oil change/filters using the suction method but not all 7 litres came out. So next time I will do it from under the car.

[@ryturria01]

About what height are you raising your jack stands? thank you.

[@LeighSr]

That’s probably 18 inches above ground.

如果我的车库本身不平呢
