When you’re driving, and you see a blue or yellow light flashing in your rearview mirror, it’s important to know what that means. That’s because that warning light is telling you there’s someone behind you on a low-jack car theft attempt.
What Causes Low Jack On A Car
Low jack is a condition where the car’s jack stands are not high enough off the ground to support the weight of the car. This can be caused by a number of factors, most commonly a raised curb or a dip in the ground at the location where the jack is set.
If you notice that your car’s jack is not stable, try raising it an inch or two off the ground with a piece of plywood or a sturdy piece of furniture. If that doesn’t solve the problem, you may need to replace your car’s jack.
How To Fix Low Jack On A Car
If you’re having trouble unlocking your car with the key, it might be due to a low jack. You can fix this issue by following these steps:
1. Park your car in a safe place.
2. Remove the front wheel and tire.
3. Look for the low jack screw on the bottom of the car body.
4. Remove the screw with a wrench and replace it with a new one that is slightly longer than the old one.
5. Tighten the screw until it’s tight.
6. Reinstall the wheel and tire and drive your car to a safe place to fix the problem.
Conclusion
If you’re looking to lower the jack on your car, there are a few things you’ll need to know. First, find out how high the jack is on your car. Next, measure the distance from the floor of your car to where the jack is located and subtract that measurement from 6 inches. This will give you the height of your lowering block. Finally, buy a lowering block that is two inches shorter than this height and install it using screws into the holes in your jacking point and floor of your car.
