Wondering about the 'hard-top' designation...

Is that because there's no B-pillar? Is it cuz o' the sedan/coupe thing? No window frames?

That right there is a picture of the four hardest working CV joints at the track!

The owners manual (online if you don't have one) tells you exactly where to place the jack. It's becoming more and more critical...

Diaphone Jim · 04-10-2019, 12:11 PM

Expensive screw up.
Do you suppose it was the owner or the "mechanic" who did that?
Or is it ultimately the manufacturer at fault?

xoxoxoBruce · 04-10-2019, 12:27 PM

Not the manufacturer, been a long time since you could jack on the rocker panels of any car, never on European cars that I know of. It appears to be a garage or tire dealer.
Looks like the damage is done so the guy is coming out with the wheel so they can get the jack out of there.
Cars not only have specific jacking spots there are designated spots to attach tie downs on a rollback or trailer, plus points to attach the winch to pull them onto a rollback/trailer.

Wonder how long it held before collapsing?
Wonder if anyone had cause to be underneath the car while it was jacked up?
*shudder*

xoxoxoBruce · 04-11-2019, 12:03 AM

Nobody underneath, jacked up to take a wheel off, but good question. Did he think the damage is done so keep going, or did it collapse with in delayed reaction?

Maybe he was hoping it would melt...

I've never known what to make of the fact that most SUV's and a lot of small pickups have a heftier tow hook in the front than the back.

That's because the front one is for pulling(yanking) it out of something that doesn't want to let go.

Proper use of a 4 wheel drive vehicle leads to pulling, not being pulled.
