Jacking car

[turk1]

Just got a new low entry small trolley jack but can't seem to find a rubber pad to fit , just would like to know what you guys use to avoid damage to the jacking points.

Ice hockey pucks off Ebay.

Get a rubber lorry mud flap and cut a square to suit.

Silly question, but you say pucks, would I need more than 1 then ?

I got an eBay deal on a pack of five. I jack up my car and use the spare pucks on the axles stands. I think I paid around a tenner for five. They're made from very dense rubber - perfect for jacking cars on.

Thanks RSGulp, just ordered 1 from ebay.

I got these cool aluminium things that slot into the jacking point, also bought from ebay.
A bit more expensive than hockey pucks though

Me too. Great because you can turn and lock them in place. (Just remember to remove them before driving off).

One of the best things I've bought for maintenance.

Yes I have been looking at the metal ones to that are on ebay,Maybe I am been tight but I thought if a hockey puck does the same job why pay £17 for the metal one, But I do like the idea that they lock in to place.
