Title: Are S3 jack pads suitable for jacking up one side at a time?
Post by: gman on June 20, 2017, 10:48:19 am
Searched around and most threads regarding these jack pads are from around 2011. Just wanting to see how they've held up for anyone who has had them and whether they are suitable for jacking up one side at a time. Has anyone had theirs cave in?  :confused:

Sorry if this is an unnecessary thread, not sure if I shoulda got the spade out and resurrected one of the threads from 2011 haha.  :smiley:

I have them, you can jack the car up however you like on them. One fell out once (had them in for a few years) but never caved in.  :happy2:

I've heard they can bend the surrounding of where they're mounted, is this true or just a load of *cough*

I've had them fitted for years and found them trouble free.
