Lost Pinch Weld Adapter for floor jack, how to jack each corner individually?
 
So I lost the pinch weld adapter that I would normally use for my floor jack, I would buy a new one but it takes 2-3 weeks for it to come in and I'm going in a road trip before then.

I've been spoiled by this thing as I've used the factory scissor jack points to jack up the car. I know you can lift up the rear ends and the front ends individually using the rear diff and the front jack point behind the bumper under tray.

But I want to jack each corner up individually using my floor jack, where would I jack up the car so I won't damage the underbody?

Thanks

Same place. Take a 2x4, cut a small block, about 3" square, and saw/cut a slot in it across the grain about 3/8" deep by 1/2" wide. Put the block on the floor jack pad with the slot up and use the recommended jacking points at each "corner" of the car.

Holy that's ingenious!

Yeah, you can make 4 of them and use jackstands at all four corners when you need to do major work on the car.

at the same spots; it's a $25k car that loses 40% of it's value immediately, not a $1Million show car ...
