I did not enjoy the experience yesterday when I whipped off the rear wheels to quickly fit mud flaps.
For those unsure of what I mean, it will be a thick, hard, rubber circular pad that fits into the cup of the trolley jack and both locates securely and cushions the force applied by the jack. They are car specific but all the ones offered by the internet, that I can find, are grooved ones (to protect a seam weld) where you are clearly being asked to jack elsewhere other than the recommended points. That I will not be doing even though I know that both the dealer and tyre companies will be fairly random in how they lift a car.
