These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

i can't find jack stand with flat surface, would those work with my 996? can i put it under the jack up point? the one with a hole in it.

POST 2Original post

I've used this type before, so far they've held up fine. I really don't get why they make them like this. Both the audi & the porsche have flat jacking points.

POST 3Original post

I think it is a legacy design for cars with frame rails... but I have successfully used on the jacking points

POST 4Original post

Sears jackstands have been known to spontanious combust - I would not use those I found a nice set of flat ones at a Garage sale last summer for $1.50 !! FOR A PAIR! I almost peed my pants I was so happy....before that I had and still have the kind like those in your picture... they work fine, just feels a little wierd like your not using them right, plenty sturdy and safe

POST 5Original post

I use those kind and stick one of the legs in the jacking holes. works fine

POST 6Original post

I also use a similiar kind but add an old sock or towel in between the jack and car's jacking-point hole. Lower the chassis slowly and check to ensure it the seated nicely.

POST 7Original post

I use the Sears jack stands, and the only thing I added was to dip the tops in Plasti-dip.

POST 8Original post

Quotes source post: 8398154

+1, I did the same.

POST 9Original post

I always put some small soft wood pads between jack stands and anything on the frame. Jacks and stands have been known to cause dings, dents, and abrasions to anything they support. I use hockey pucks between the jack and the points to protect the frame.

POST 10Original post

My only comment on hockey pucks or soft wood buffers is that these pieces place a potential slip point between the chassis and the jack stand. This is why I dipped the ends of my jack stands in Plasti-dip. This cushions the mating face between the chassis and jack stand saddle, but does not compromise to anchoring of the car into the jack stand saddles.

POST 11Original post

Same here. Have the same Craftsman jacks and work fine in both Audi and Porsche
