What to use as car stands for long term vehicle storage?
Posted by admin on Aug-30-2009
I am looking to store my vehicle for a year while deployed. I came across a good article here where one of the points of advice was to put the car up on stands. This would prevent the tires from warping after sitting idle for such a long period of time. Anybody have suggestions on what to use to lift the car for the duration of the year?
There are different kinds of jack stands on the market and just about any of them will work for your situation. Obviously, the better the jack stand the safer they will be. However, I have used jack stands from Wal Mart with much success. Safety is the important key here. Carelessness can occur regardless of the quality of the jackstands – good or bad. As far as the tires are concerned, warping is an interesting word to use for what could happen while the car is sitting. Actually, what happens is that the tires will flatten out some in the spot where they touch the ground after a period of time. Then when the car is driven after that, there is a thumping feeling everytime the tires roll over that spot on each of them. If you have a rear wheel drive car, place 2 of your jack stands under the rear axle housing (rear end) as far out as you can get them on each side, then place the front two stands under the "pinch weld" in the front if it is a unibody type or under the frame (in front) if it is a car with a frame. If it is a front wheel drive car, place the jack stands under the pinch welds both front and back. "Pinch Welds" are the places under the rocker panel where you would normally set a jack if you were having to change a flat tire. It looks kind of like a square or rectangular notch cut out along the edge. After you get the car up on stands, be sure to jiggle the car to see if it is stable or if it feels like it may fall. If it feels unstable, you may have to rejack the end or corner that seems unstable and tweak the placement of the jack stand(s) just a bit. Once again, safety is of the utmost concern. Speaking of safety, please be safe while deployed, and come back soon.
